See all
1 tsp olive oil

For the mashed potatoes

3 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
1 tsp salt, plus more for the cooking water
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
¾ cup whole milk or heavy cream, warmed
1 oz parmesan, freshly grated (about ½ cup)
Chef's tip
Match the form the recipe uses - grated for sprinkling and sauces, a firm wedge for shaving. If the recipe melts the cheese, choose a product labeled meltable.
¼ tsp black pepper

For serving

2 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Slice the top quarter off the head of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle with the olive oil, and wrap tightly in foil. Place on a small baking sheet and roast for 35–40 minutes, until the cloves are deeply golden and completely soft when pressed.
2
While the garlic roasts, place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer. Cook for 15–18 minutes, until a fork slides through a chunk with no resistance.
