ROASTED MASHED POTATOES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Slice off the very top of the garlic head. Drizzle head with olive oil and wrap in foil. Place on a sheet tray and bake until tender and fragrant, roughly 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Remove the cloves and mash with a wooden spoon.
• Place potatoes in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Add salt and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender and drain. Mash the potatoes until smooth.
• Meanwhile heat butter and cream until butter melts. Add the roasted garlic and potatoes and mash all together.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

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.
