Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 head garlic
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 pounds Russet or golden potatoes peeled (900g)
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup half-and-half warmed (240ml)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (50g)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Slice off the very top of the garlic head and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap in foil, place on a baking sheet and bake until tender and fragrant, about 35-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Remove the cloves and set aside.
- Meanwhile, cut the peeled potatoes into 3/4-inch slices. Place them in a colander and rinse under running water for 30 seconds. Transfer potatoes to a large saucepan. Add cold water to cover by 1 inch, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, add salt and boil until potatoes are fork tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- About 5 minutes before the potatoes are ready, melt butter together with the half-half in a small saucepan over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.
- Drain potatoes well and pass them together with the garlic through a food mill or ricer. I don't recommend using a food processor or blender!
- Gently fold in the warm cream mixture and parmesan cheese with a rubber spatula until absorbed and potatoes are thick and creamy. Adjust seasoning.
- Serve immediately sprinkled with parmesan and black pepper or cover with foil and keep warm in an oven on low heat.
