How to Make Garlic White Cheddar And Chipotle Mashed Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Toss 1 whole head of garlic, cut-side up, with 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small baking dish.
  2. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove foil and bake until garlic is golden brown and tender, about 15-20 minutes more.
  5. Let the roasted garlic cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves out of their skins.
  6. Peel and chop 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  7. Cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
  8. Return the potatoes to the pot. Add the roasted garlic cloves, 1 cup of shredded white cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of milk (or cream for extra richness), 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of chipotle powder (or more, to taste).
  9. Using an electric mixer (or potato masher), beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.
  10. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
