Herby Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Cover peeled whole potatoes with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add salt. Reduce heat, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until tender. Drain and remove to a large mixing bowl.

Heat cream over medium heat until steaming.

Break potatoes into smaller pieces, add butter, and mash. Gradually add cream, and continue mashing potatoes until smooth and creamy. (Add more cream as necessary.)

Add roasted garlic and onion, and mix well. Fold in herbs, salt and pepper.

Tip From Our Test Kitchen:

Cut off top third of a large head of garlic. Place in glass baking dish, and drizzle with 1/2 tsp (2 mL) olive oil. Add enough chicken stock (or water) to come up to a third of the height of the garlic head. Cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour at 375F (190C) until soft and tender.
