ROASTED GARLIC PARMESAN POTATOES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Slice off about ¼ inch from the top of the garlic. Place on a sheet of foil and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap in the foil, place on a baking sheet and roast until the garlic is soft, 50 to 60 minutes. Meanwhile, spread 1 cup parmesan in a thin layer on a baking sheet (use a silicone mat if you have one); sprinkle with the chopped rosemary. Bake until golden and bubbling, 5 to 6 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, rinse the potatoes well with cold water to get rid of any excess starch. Transfer the potatoes to a saucepan; cover with cold water by 1 inch, season generously with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are very tender but not falling apart, about 30 minutes.
• Let the garlic cool slightly, then unwrap and squeeze the cloves out of the skins into a small saucepan. Add the milk and rosemary sprig. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot but not boiling. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm.
• Drain the potatoes and return to the pot over low heat; cook until any excess water evaporates, about 2 minutes. Strain the milk mixture into the pot with the potatoes, pressing on the solids. Add the butter, olive oil and 2 teaspoons salt and mash well with a potato masher. Fold in the mascarpone and the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan.
• Transfer the potatoes to a bowl; crumble the crispy parmesan on top before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 ̊. Cut the top quarter off the garlic heads. Place in a pie pan, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover with foil and bake until the garlic is golden and soft, about 45 minutes. Let cool. Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add the butter, cream cheese, parmesan, half-and-half, cream, parsley, 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the potatoes and mash with a potato masher. Squeeze the garlic out of its skin and stir into the potatoes. Spoon into a serving bowl and top with more butter and parsley just before serving.
