Ingredients
- Roasted Garlic:
- 2 heads fresh garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- Potatoes:
- 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 2 inch pieces
- 8 cups chicken broth
- Infused Garlic Butter:
- 1 1/2 cups half and half
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic, grated
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- For garnish:

Method
- Cut the top quarter off the garlic heads, set them in foil, drizzle with the neutral oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Wrap the foil tightly and roast at 325°F for 1 hour.
- Cover the potatoes with the chicken broth in a large pot, bring to a boil and cook 15 to 20 minutes until fork tender.
- While the potatoes boil, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and add the roasted garlic, grated garlic, garlic powder, thyme and rosemary, cooking 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the half and half, salt and pepper and keep it over medium-low heat for 5 minutes to infuse.
- Drain the potatoes and rice them back into the warm pot with a potato ricer.
- Pull the thyme and rosemary sprigs from the butter mixture, pour it over the potatoes and mix until smooth, then scatter the chopped chives over the mash to serve.
