Note

Roasted garlic can be prepared by slicing the top off a garlic head, drizzling with olive oil, wrapping in foil, and roasting at 400&# 194;°F (200ðC) for 40 minutes.

For the creamiest texture, ensure the heavy cream and butter are warm before adding them to the hot potatoes.

This dish pairs excellently with Grilled Balsamic Veal Chops and Balsamic Ratatouille.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream.
