Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

[teacup13]

2 heads of garlic - roasted (cut in half, put in tinfoil with olive oil,sea salt and fresh black pepper)
roast in oven until garlic has turned brown...be careful not to burn

couple of pounds of red potatoes ( i keep skin on)
1 can chicken stock (can is ok)
sour cream
butter

everybody knows how to make mashed potatoes...

what i do is melt my butter in a different pan and add the garlic...

when the potatoes are mashed i add them and enough sour cream and chicken stock so i get the consistancy that i desire

mix well and enjoy

Hey how about placing the garlic in a smoker and roasting it that way?

Sounds good teacup!

Hmmm smoked garlic. How long do you think that would take 20 minutes?

All I know is that I am a meat and taters man and those taters sure do sound good.

if you cook the garlic too fast it burns and gets bitter dont ask me how i know this..lol

the idea is to caramalize(sp) it...makes it like candied garlic...when you roast it slowly it takes the bite out of garlic that it has when it is raw

i am not sure about smoking it but you could put in your smoker and in the tinfoil and cook it that way

I roast garlic all the time in the oven. Nothing like it! Smoked garlic might be kewl though. Maybe smoke the paste for a few minutes?

Smoked Garlic. My next try will be 30-45 minutes in the smoke.
