Roasted Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes

Let’s be honest, though. Mashed potatoes are T-H-E ultimate comfort food… for, I’m pretty sure, everyone! I mean, who doesn’t want in on warm, rich, creamy and buttery goodness?

So I made Italian Oven Fried Crispy Chicken Breasts yesterday, and what better side to go with that dish? You guessed it: nothing other than Roasted Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes! We were smothering our chicken with this stuff as if there were no tomorrow. If only we had thought of tomorrow, I’d be having a bowl of leftover tasty comfort right now. 😐

How to make roasted garlic parmesan mashed potatoes

These are so easy to make. The garlic roasts in the oven while the potatoes are boiling. You drain them, add the roasted garlic, some almond milk, cheese, butter and your seasonings. Mash it all up, then stir in green onions for beautiful color and a subtle, tasty crunch.

I didn’t use any sour cream, but you can most definitely add some. I personally thought this was tasty enough and didn’t need sour cream or its added calories. You can serve these with or without your favorite gravy.

So simple. So easy. So tasty and comforting. Perfect after a long, hectic day.

Now get your kids off to bed, load that dishwasher and send your husband or wife to take out the garbage. Kids or no kids. Spouse or no spouse. Just do whatever you need to do to be alone. This is your moment to fill the biggest bowl you own with Roasted Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes and savor every spoonful. Enjoy!
