Why I Love This Recipe

This recipe is so good that can have these as a side dish or just simply on their own. I know mashed potatoes are typically simple to make and very to-the-point, but while the holidays approach, I wanted to share one of mine with a little extra flavor and warmth! Roasted garlic. Now, don’t be intimidated. Roasted garlic is very easy to make and it will not make your potatoes too “garlicky” or smelly. In my opinion, roasting the garlic gives it this warm, nutty, slightly sweet flavor that mellows out that strong garlic scent. You can find the directions for roasting garlic here: (Roasted Garlic)
