How to Make an Easy Garlic Mashed Potato Casserole

by 42 Comments

We make a mean Garlic Mashed Potato Casserole using Roasted Garlic that is out of this world.  This is an easy potato casserole that we are sure will become a hit at your house also.  

Easy potato casserole


We serve this Roasted Garlic Potato Casserole for Thanksgiving, Christmas and
sometimes Easter and any other celebration here on the Ranch. We especially love it with our Perfect Prime Rib recipe or our Pineapple Glazed Ham.      

We prepare it ahead of time, then
pop it into the oven about 20 minutes before serving.   It’s an easy way to prevent that
last minute rush and your potatoes always arrive on the table hot
and steamy.  


We also use a stainless steel Potato Ricer to erraticate all the lumps because who wants lumpy potatoes and the ricer makes creamy potatoes so easy. 

This Garlic Mashed Potato Casserole is creamy, cheesy and has a roasted garlic flavor that your family will love.  

Easy Garlic Mashed Potato Casserole

Ingredients
  • 6 Med Potatoes (2 lbs, 9 oz) peeled and cubed
  • 1 whole garlic bulb
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Fontina Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons ( 1/4 stick of butter)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2 quart casserole baking dish. Place the cubed potatoes in 2 quart pot, cover with water and boil potatoes until done.
2. Meanwhile cut a 8″ square piece of foil. Rinse garlic bulb and pat dry, slice off just the very top of the bulb. Place garlic on foil, pour 1 tbsp of olive oil on top of the cut garlic bulb Bring all four corners up over bulb and twist to make closed packet. Place in oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until garlic is soft.  Or use a Garlic Baker.
3. Carefully remove garlic bulb and allow to cool, save oil. As soon as garlic is cool, carefully remove the cooked garlic from the skins and mash in a small bowl.
4. As soon as the potatoes are done, drain and place in a large mixing bowl and mash using the Potato Ricer. Add the garlic paste, olive oil, butter, milk, cream, cheeses, salt and pepper. Beat until creamy. Add more milk if needed.
5. Place potato mixture in the buttered casserole dish. (At this time it can be cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to 8 hours but be sure to remember to remove potatoes from fridge and bring to room temperature about an hour prior to baking).
6. Bake 15-20 minutes, longer if needed until hot throughout and slightly browned. Drop squares of button on top

    • I bought my Clay Pot years ago and really can't remember but I believe I have seen them in specialty stores like Crate and Barrel. But I am sure you could find them online:)

  11. I'm a potato girl, so these would be a hit with me. Roasted garlic turns everything it touches to gold as far as I'm concerned. Thank you for linking with See Ya In the Gumbo!

    I was out shopping at World Market over the weekend and though of you–saw a clay pot there much like yours.
