These potatoes are full of creamy sour cream, cream cheese, and buttery goodness contrasted with rich roast garlic. The texture is as delightful as the flavor combination. Ingredients:
2 whole heads garlic, top third sliced off and discarded |
olive oil |
1 tablespoon sea salt |
5 pounds yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed |
1 cup sour cream |
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese |
1 cup butter |
salt and ground black pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Place garlic heads in a baking dish and drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven until garlic is soft and brown, about 45 minutes.
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and stir in sea salt. Cook potatoes in the salted water until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain.
4. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and add sour cream, cream cheese, butter, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Cover bowl with a lid or a piece of aluminum foil and let mixture stand for 5 minutes to soften butter and cream cheese, about 5 minutes.
5. Squeeze roasted garlic from the cloves into the potato mixture; mash potatoes until smooth, creamy, and thoroughly combined.
