For now, here’s an overview of how it goes:</p><p><strong>First, roast the garlic </strong>in a 350°F oven until the cloves are deeply brown and tender. This could take up to 60 minutes! <em>Tip: You can easily do this step ahead of time. Wrapped in foil, the roasted garlic will keep for 3 days in the fridge.</em></p><p><strong>Then, peel the potatoes.</strong> If you love creamy mashed potatoes, peeling is a must. Once they’re peeled, there’s no need to cut the potatoes before cooking. Just put them in a large pot, and cover them with 1 inch of cold water.</p><p><strong>Next, boil them.</strong> Add a teaspoon of salt to the pot, and boil until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Before you drain the potatoes, don’t forget to reserve 1 cup of the starchy cooking water.</p><p><span class="pibfi_pinterest"><img alt="Potatoes in a potato ricer" class="alignnone wp-image-40145 size-full" data-original="https://cdn.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/mashed-potatoes-2.jpg" data-pin-description="These garlic mashed potatoes are rich, creamy, and full of savory garlic flavor.

As a chef for 15 years i love you cut down the calories in mash potatoes without losing any of the creamy texture by reusing the starchy cooking water.

How should I freeze them? Whole or mashed?</p><p>yes, absolutely! I freeze my garlic all the time. I freeze the individual cloves. They thaw quickly at room temperature. A paste would freeze well too.</p><p><img alt="5 stars" class="wprm-comment-rating" height="16" src="https://www.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/assets/icons/rating/stars-5.svg" width="80"/><br/>So easy and so delicious. I roasted the garlic the day before so putting it together for the actual meal was simple. I did 2 versions, the recipe exactly and then some with some sour cream added in. Both were fabulous and everyone raved about them. I actually used a stand mixer on low for maybe 30 seconds instead of a ricer/masher. Makes it easy to fold in the oil and potato water (and sour cream in my case), you just don’t want to go too long and lose the chunks of texture. Will make this often now.</p><img src="https://www.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/assets/icons/rating/stars-5.svg" alt="5 stars"/><img alt="5 stars" class="wprm-comment-rating" height="16" src="https://www.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/assets/icons/rating/stars-5.svg" width="80"/><p>How much sour cream did you use, and what was the result?

I have never made potatoes that I didn’t put butter and milk in so I was a little hesitant but I’m glad I gave it a go. I roasted garlic yesterday which I never did either before but holy cow what a flavor. I didn’t quite use half a cup of cooking liquid and I mashed my little arms out with a potato masher and I couldn’t believe it. I always used a mixer ,I didn’t know the texture difference it would make but color me surprised . I omitted the extra tsp of salt as I didn’t personally think it needed it . Definitely a five star potato recipe .</p><img src="https://www.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/assets/icons/rating/stars-5.svg" alt="5 stars"/><img alt="5 stars" class="wprm-comment-rating" height="16" src="https://www.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/assets/icons/rating/stars-5.svg" width="80"/><p>I am curious if you think you could make them earlier in the day and warm them up in the ovem</p><p>Hi Cathy – yep, you can, although I usually reheat in the microwave.

I’ve been vegan for 20+ years and these were hands down the best mashed potatoes I’ve made yet. A huge hit at thanksgiving. My sous chef (I.e my lovely husband) threw out the cooking water so I just added a healthy splash of full fat canned coconut milk open on my counter for another recipe. A hit on the thanksgiving table with or without gravy.

For now, here’s an overview of how it goes:</p><p><strong>First, roast the garlic </strong>in a 350°F oven until the cloves are deeply brown and tender. This could take up to 60 minutes! <em>Tip: You can easily do this step ahead of time. Wrapped in foil, the roasted garlic will keep for 3 days in the fridge.</em></p><p><strong>Then, peel the potatoes.</strong> If you love creamy mashed potatoes, peeling is a must. Once they’re peeled, there’s no need to cut the potatoes before cooking. Just put them in a large pot, and cover them with 1 inch of cold water.</p><p><strong>Next, boil them.</strong> Add a teaspoon of salt to the pot, and boil until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Before you drain the potatoes, don’t forget to reserve 1 cup of the starchy cooking water.</p><p><span class="pibfi_pinterest"><img alt="Potatoes in a potato ricer" class="alignnone wp-image-40145 size-full" data-original="https://cdn.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/mashed-potatoes-2.jpg" data-pin-description="These garlic mashed potatoes are rich, creamy, and full of savory garlic flavor.

As a chef for 15 years i love you cut down the calories in mash potatoes without losing any of the creamy texture by reusing the starchy cooking water. Great idea!</p><img src="https://www.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/assets/icons/rating/stars-5.svg" alt="5 stars"/><img alt="5 stars" class="wprm-comment-rating" height="16" src="https://www.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/assets/icons/rating/stars-5.svg" width="80"/><p>Can one roast a few bulbs of garlic and freeze the rest? How should I freeze them? Whole or mashed?</p><p>yes, absolutely! I freeze my garlic all the time. I freeze the individual cloves. They thaw quickly at room temperature. A paste would freeze well too.</p><p><img alt="5 stars" class="wprm-comment-rating" height="16" src="https://www.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/assets/icons/rating/stars-5.svg" width="80"/><br/>So easy and so delicious. I roasted the garlic the day before so putting it together for the actual meal was simple. I did 2 versions, the recipe exactly and then some with some sour cream added in. Both were fabulous and everyone raved about them. I actually used a stand mixer on low for maybe 30 seconds instead of a ricer/masher. Makes it easy to fold in the oil and potato water (and sour cream in my case), you just don’t want to go too long and lose the chunks of texture.

I baked my Yukon gold potatoes instead of boiling them and used homemade veggie stock instead of the boiling water; otherwise the recipe was the same.I made them in the morning and they kept beautifully all day in a covered bowl over a pan of simmering water—thanks!</p><p><img alt="5 stars" class="wprm-comment-rating" height="16" src="https://www.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/assets/icons/rating/stars-5.svg" width="80"/><br/>These were so good . I have never made potatoes that I didn’t put butter and milk in so I was a little hesitant but I’m glad I gave it a go. I roasted garlic yesterday which I never did either before but holy cow what a flavor. I didn’t quite use half a cup of cooking liquid and I mashed my little arms out with a potato masher and I couldn’t believe it. I always used a mixer ,I didn’t know the texture difference it would make but color me surprised . I omitted the extra tsp of salt as I didn’t personally think it needed it . Definitely a five star potato recipe .</p><img src="https://www.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/assets/icons/rating/stars-5.svg" alt="5 stars"/><img alt="5 stars" class="wprm-comment-rating" height="16" src="https://www.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/assets/icons/rating/stars-5.svg" width="80"/><p>I am curious if you think you could make them earlier in the day and warm them up in the ovem</p><p>Hi Cathy – yep, you can, although I usually reheat in the microwave.

I don’t mash them.</p><p>Hi Jeanine!</p><p>Can I make these ahead of time (the day before) and reheat them?</p><p>Thanks!</p><p>Hi Anna, you can!

I’ve been vegan for 20+ years and these were hands down the best mashed potatoes I’ve made yet. A huge hit at thanksgiving. My sous chef (I.e my lovely husband) threw out the cooking water so I just added a healthy splash of full fat canned coconut milk open on my counter for another recipe. A hit on the thanksgiving table with or without gravy. Thank you!</p><img src="https://www.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/assets/icons/rating/stars-5.svg" alt="5 stars"/><img alt="5 stars" class="wprm-comment-rating" height="16" src="https://www.loveandlemons.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/assets/icons/rating/stars-5.svg" width="80"/><p>Hi Elizabeth, thank you for your sweet comment! I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the recipes and I’m happy these were a hit at Thanksgiving!</p><p>This looks great!<br/>Also, where did you get your ceramic bowls?  LOVE them.</p><p>Hi Diana – Sheldon Ceramics!</p><p>This looks amazing! One question. For the roasted garlic, is the dried outer layer peeled off before or after roasting? I’m a little confused on that.</p><p>Peel it off after roasting, it cooks in its paper (in the foil). Hope that helps!</p>  DO NOT OUTPUT ANYTHING other than valid json formatted content.
