It seems that I have not been do much with potatoes lately. I had been wanting to try making my own garlic mashed potatoes for a while and I thought: What better to go with the steak dinner that I was having? Making the garlic mashed potatoes took a bit of effort but it was certainly worth it. The roasted garlic mashed potatoes turned out really well! They were so creamy and good. The flavour of the sweet roasted garlic was just amazing. These were easily the best mashed potatoes that I have had. I will definitely be making these again.

A fantastic mashed potato, roasted garlic at it’s best!
Wow, roasted garlic and cheese – mmm!
By the way, if you have leftover roasted garlic, peel it then put it on a plastic covered plate and freeze it. Then when it is frozen store it in a double baggie. Just thaw it out to use it.
Garlic mashed potatoes are one of those things that you just can’t have one scoop of – delicious.
i love garlic mashed potatoes! 🙂
Oh I can imagine the pungent garlic in the mashed potatoes. Another simple trick for mashed potatoes. Gotta try it soon!
I’ll pass on the meat, but you surely do encourage me to experiment more with spuds.
I would include some soaked dried wild mushrooms with a bit of dill.
Garlic mashed potatoes sound like the perfect side dish to a weekend dinner. Thanks for all the lovely recipes!
Kevin, I just reread your “about me” section and I have to say your food are definitely not boring! Not even close – you make some of the best and most interesting food around. This, for example, is wonderful.

mmmmm, I love potatoes. I haven’t been doing much with them lately either. And I’ve always wanted to roast my own garlic. I’m definitely going to have to try this.
Roasted garlic mashed potatoes are the best and these look delicious (and perfect for steak)!
Some other wonderful additions I’ve enjoyed in the past: goat cheese, caramelized/roasted shallots, or mushrooms.
I absolutely love roasted garlic. The Pioneer Woman made some of these mashed potatoes last week and I have been craving them since!!
Would it be inappropriate to lick the screen?
Oh Kevin! Now you’ve done it! Mashed potatoes are my favorite comfort food. I can’t resist them. And adding the roasted garlic to them? Well, that just pushes it out of the stratosphere for me! Yahoo!
Hi Kevin, I have dropped over to pay a visit via Holler’s site. I guess I am in time for dinner! Perfect combination, potatoes and garlic! I adore the way garlic makes the house smell while it is roasting! And…putting cream cheese in the mashed potatoes, the best!

My all time favourite potato Kevin. I order this on the side at restaurants if it doesn’t come with my dish 😀
Hey Kevin!
I plan to make this recipe for Thanksgiving.The only problem is I am serving 20. How much does this recipe serve?
Anonymous: This recipe serves 4 so you will want to use 5 or more times the ingredients.
