How to Make Roasted Garlic Sweet Potato Mash
- **Roast the Garlic:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice off the top of 1 head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped garlic head on a baking sheet and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden.
- **Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:** While the garlic roasts, peel and cube 2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds) and 1 medium russet potato (about 1 pound).
- **Boil the Potatoes:** Place the cubed sweet potatoes and russet potato in a large pot and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- **Drain and Mash:** Drain the potatoes well. Return them to the pot and mash thoroughly.
- **Add Flavor:** Add 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of milk (or cream for extra richness), salt, and pepper to taste.
- **Incorporate Roasted Garlic:** Once the roasted garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves out of their skins directly into the mashed potatoes. Alternatively, you can individually remove and add the cloves.
- **Mix and Serve:** Stir everything together until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if desired to reach your preferred consistency. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
