Parmesan Garlic Mashed Potatoes

I love all things starchy! Mashed potatoes are something I like to make with just about everything. They are so simple and everyone loves them. The recipe is great because it combines three of my favorites, potatoes, Parmesan cheese and garlic!!!


Parmesan Garlic Mashed Potatoes
8 large baking potatoes
2 cups sour cream
1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups Parmesan cheese
4 whole cloves roasted garlic (peel garlic, the easiest way is to place the cloves on a cutting board and crush with blade of knife, this makes the skins easier to manage, place in a baking dish and cover with olive oil, bake at 425 for about 30 minutes or until crisped)
3 tablespoons chopped green onions


1. Cut potatoes into large pieces, boil in large pot for about 8 minutes or until fork tender.
2. Drain and return to pot, mash lightly, add in sour cream, butter, buttermilk, garlic and cheese, mash until you reach the desired consistency.
3. Fold in green onions.
Mashed potatoes can cool very quickly. If you need to keep them warm for a while an easy way to make sure they don't burn on the bottom is to place them in a smaller pot over a large sauce pan filled with water on low boil. 
Enjoy!!!
