Garlic Mashed Potatoes with Horseradish Cream
Serves: 4 to 6
Roasted garlic and horseradish add depth and zing to comforting mashed potatoes. Garlic is a good source of vitamins B6, C and manganese, and it tastes great with potatoes!
Ingredients
PreparationIngredients
- 1 large or 2 small heads garlic, top third cut off and discarded Add to list
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil Add to list
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary and several sprigs thyme Add to list
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled or unpeeled Add to list
- 1 tablespoon salt Add to list
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Add to list
- 1/2 cup cream or milk Add to list
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated or bottled horseradish Add to list
- Salt and pepper Add to list
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350° F. Place trimmed garlic heads on a sheet of foil. Add herb sprigs and olive oil and wrap tightly. Roast in oven 40 to 60 minutes, or until garlic cloves are soft.
Cut each potato into 3 pieces and place in a large pot of water, enough to cover the potatoes. Add salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes, or until a knife slips into the potatoes easily. While the potatoes cook, heat the butter, cream or milk and horseradish in a small pot over medium heat until hot. Keep warm.
Drain the potatoes, put back in the pot and shake them over medium heat to evaporate any liquid. Pass them through a ricer or mash them. Squeeze out the garlic cloves and add to the cream mixture. Whisk together, pour over the potatoes and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
