Roasted Garlic Whipped Potatoes

Total Time1 hour 15 minutes
Course: Side Dish
Servings: 8

Ingredients

For the Roasted Garlic:

  • 1 head of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • kosher salt, to taste

For the Potatoes:

  • 3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for serving, if desired
  • 1 cup coconut milk (or whole milk)
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped chives, optional, plus more for serving,

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Roast the Garlic:

  • Trim the top 1/4-inch off the head of garlic and place on a piece of foil, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt.
  • Wrap in the foil and roast for 40 to 60 minutes until the garlic cloves are brown and tender.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool.

Meanwhile, Cook the Potatoes:

  • Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with water. Add 2 teaspoons salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are very fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Once the potatoes are tender, drain the potatoes and let sit in the colander to release the steam (this will help to have any excess moisture removed).
  • After moisture has been released, add to a large mixing bowl (if using a hand-held mixer) or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
  • Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze out the cloves into the mixing bowl with the potatoes.
  • Add the butter, milk, and broth and whisk on medium-low speed until smooth and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt and black pepper and whisk again on medium-low speed until the potatoes are well-whipped and creamy.
  • Add the chives and gently fold into the potatoes. Serve immediately.
