Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pound potatoes
  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 cup cream or half-and-half
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup cracked black pepper

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Cook the potatoes in salted water until tender.

Drain potatoes and dry them out in a nonstick pan in a 350º oven for 10 minutes.

While the potatoes are cooking, peel all the cloves from the head of garlic and, in a small saucepan, simmer them with the cream or half-and-half, milk, and butter.

When the garlic is very tender, set the mixture aside.

Puree the potatoes and the garlic mixture through the medium disk of a food mill (do not whip).

Season to taste with salt and pepper.

If necessary, thin with more milk.

Keep warm until serving.

Serving Directions:

Just before serving, stir in snipped chives and crème fraîche.
