Cook time: 55 minutes

Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 0 Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 Garlic head
• 4 lb Red Bliss potatoes
• 0 Water
• 0 Kosher salt
• 1.5 sticks Butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• 0 Kosher salt
• 1 Tbsp Fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the garlic head (skins and all) and wrap it in foil.
3. Bake the garlic in the oven until golden and soft, about 45 minutes, then set aside.
4. Add the peeled and chopped potatoes to a large pot, then add enough water to cover potatoes by a few inches.
5. Season the potatoes with salt, then cover the pot and bring to a boil.
6. Check if the potatoes are soft by piercing them with a knife after around 30 minutes. If the knife easily slides in, then they’re good to go. Once done, drain in a colander.
7. Add the potatoes to a large bowl, then mash or rice the potatoes.
8. Slowly add the melted butter, cream, and garlic to the potatoes.
9. Add the balsamic vinegar to the potatoes. Season generously with salt (taste later and add more as needed), then garnish with fresh parsley for the final finishing touch.
