• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

• 1/8 tsp white pepper

Instructions:

1. Prepare Roasted Garlic:

   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Cut off the top third of the garlic head to expose the cloves.
   • Place the garlic head on a piece of foil.
   • Drizzle generously with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and wrap tightly in foil.
   • Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until cloves are soft and golden. Once cooled, squeeze the cloves from their skins and discard the skins.

2. Cook Potatoes:

   • Place the potato chunks in a medium saucepan and cover with water.
   • Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
   • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
   • Cook uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
   • Drain the potatoes and set aside.

3. Prepare Milk Mixture:

   • In a small saucepan, combine the half-and-half, milk, butter, and chopped fresh rosemary.
   • Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture simmers and the butter is melted, stirring frequently.

4. Mash Potatoes:

   • Using a potato masher, mash the cooked potatoes until smooth.

5. Combine Ingredients:

   • Add the roasted garlic cloves and the milk mixture to the mashed potatoes.
   • Use an electric mixer to beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

6. Season and Serve:

   • Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and white pepper.
   • Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
   • Serve the Rosemary Garlic Mashed Potatoes hot, garnished with a sprinkle of dried rosemary for extra flavor.
