Tip to make the Creamed Potatoes:

We also use a stainless steel Potato Ricer to eradicate all the lumps in this creamy mashed potato recipe.   Because who wants lumpy potatoes and the ricer makes creamy potatoes so easy.   Use the potato ricer instead of a mixer or hand beating to make this creamed potatoes.  

 

To Start Your Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes:

Another trick other than using a potato ricer is the freshly roasted garlic. 

 

 

Start your roasted garlic mashed potatoes by preheating oven to 350.   Cut an 8″ square piece of foil and rinse garlic bulb and pat dry.   Slice off just the very top and place garlic in the center of the foil.    Of you can skip these steps by using a  Or use a Garlic Baker and follow the package directions.

 

 

 Then pour 1 tbsp of olive oil on top of the cut garlic bulb 

 

 

Bring all four corners of the foil up over bulb and twist to make a closed packet.  Place in oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until garlic is soft.  Carefully remove cooked garlic bulb from oven and allow to cool, open but save the oil. 

 

 

Peel 6 medium potatoes and cube them.  Place the cubed potatoes in a 2-quart pot, cover with water and boil potatoes until done.
