Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 10 servings

Ingredients

2 heads of garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup white vermouth or dry white wine
1/4 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
3 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup half and half
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, room temperature

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove papery outer skins from garlic heads. Cut off top 1/4 inch of each head. Place garlic heads in small baking dish. Drizzle with oil. Bring vermouth and broth to boil in saucepan. Pour vermouth mixture around garlic. Cover and bake until garlic is very tender, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly. Squeeze garlic from skins into small bowl. Mash garlic with fork. (Roasted garlic can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)

    Step 2

    Place potatoes in large pot with enough cold water to cover. Bring to boil. Cover partially and cook until potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Return potatoes to pot and mash. Heat half and half in small saucepan until hot. Add to potatoes and mix well. Mix in roasted garlic and butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
