More potatoes!! This will be the second potato recipe I’ve posted this week that pretty much doesn’t even count as a vegetable serving. Oh well. I was inspired to make these Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes after having them at a steakhouse and falling in loooove. They’re my favorite mashed potatoes and you HAVE to try them. If you’ve never roasted garlic before you must do so as soon as humanly possible. Learn how to roast garlic with The Kitchn’s tutorial here.
If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, you may have noticed this was a pretty fantastic week for me and not just because I indulged in all sorts of crazy good potatoes. It was good because I FINISHED CULINARY SCHOOL. I now have my bachelor’s degree and my culinary degree and am DONE with school! YAY!! It was also fantastic because Amazon and Barnes & Noble released my book early!! It’s now available for purchase at both those stores and should soon be available at Anthropologie too! Annnnnd in order to celebrate all this goodness Jared and I are taking a weekend getaway trip to Sedona! Excuse me while I go faint with joy at how awesome my life has been lately. I’d love to hear any good news you guys have to share so we can all celebrate together!

- 1/2 cup half-and-half or milk

Instructions

About how many medium potatoes do you guess would equal two pounds?
About 6 to 8
