These roasted garlic mashed potatoes are outstanding. The roasted, savory flavor of these potatoes make them the perfect side. They also pass the ‘gravy lake test’, holding a nice big serving of gravy without getting runny. Rule #1: You can’t have too much gravy. Rule #2: You can’t have too much mashed potatoes.
Fantastic Flavor In Every Bite
I roasted the garlic for these mashed potatoes in the oven. You can also make a big batch of roasted garlic in no time by using your slow cooker. Either way, you’ll get that wonderful garlic aroma and flavor!
We served these with the delicious gravy from the mushroom pork tenderloins we made. And roasted carrots on the side.
