Mashed Potatoes with Roasted Garlic and Mascarpone Cheese

By Emily-2

Ingredients

• 3 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into large dice
• Kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 6 cloves roasted garlic cloves, pureed
• 1/2 stick unsalted butter
• 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
• Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Place potatoes in a large saucepan, add cold water just to cover and 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until tender. Drain well and run through a food mill set over a large bowl.

While the potatoes are cooking, combine the milk, garlic puree and butter in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Stir the milk mixture into the potatoes until combined. Fold in the mascarpone and season well with salt and pepper. Keep warm over in a bain marie or double boiler until serving.
