The roasted garlic adds a sweet and nutty depth to the mash, while the purple color makes it a stunning side dish for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized Purple Heart potatoes
- 1 head of garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C
Cut the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves. Place it on a sheet of foil, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it tightly. Roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden.
While the garlic is roasting, peel and chop the Purple Heart potatoes into chunks. Boil them until they are fork-tender.
Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the softened cloves into a bowl.
Mash the boiled Purple Heart potatoes and mix in the roasted garlic paste. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. For extra creaminess, a splash of organic almond milk works wonders!
Give it a good mix until you achieve your desired consistency.
Garnish with fresh chives and serve this delightful Roasted Garlic and Purple Heart Mash Potato alongside your favorite protein or enjoy it as a standalone comfort dish.
