This recipe uses an entire head of roasted garlic and it tastes fabulous!
To roast a head of garlic all you have to do is peel off the outer flaky layers from the head of garlic and then use a knife to just chop off the tips of the garlic.
Wrap in tinfoil and pour over a teaspoon of olive oil and rub the oil into the garlic. Close up the tinfoil and bake in the oven for 35 minutes until perfectly roasted!
Let it cool a little before you pop the garlic out of the cloves with your fingers and then mash them up with a fork. For a full tutorial for making roasted garlic check out our post how to make roasted garlic.
Roasted garlic adds a wonderful richness to these mashed potatoes.
Sure, you can make yourself some pretty awesome vegan mashed potatoes without it, but once you’ve had it with roasted garlic you’re not ever going to want to go without it again.
And it doesn’t add much time to the recipe since you have to cook the potatoes anyway, you might as well have some roasted garlic on the go in the oven at the same time.
While the garlic is roasting you peel and chop the potatoes, and then add to a pot with just enough water to cover the potatoes, bring to the boil and let them cook until soft.
