How to Make Easy Smashed Potatoes With Roasted Garlic And Corn

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast 1 head of garlic (cut top off) drizzled with 1 tbsp olive oil for 30-40 minutes, until soft.
  2. While garlic roasts, microwave 2 lbs frozen potatoes with ½ cup milk in a microwave-safe bowl for 12 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  3. Once potatoes are cooked, mash with a wire whip or electric mixer until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
  4. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into the potatoes. Stir in 4 tbsp butter, ¼ cup sour cream, and salt & pepper to taste.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup frozen corn (thawed).
  6. Grease a casserole dish with vegetable oil spray.
  7. Transfer potato mixture to the prepared dish.
  8. Sprinkle with ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
