Source of Recipe

Joe Fortes Seafood & Chop House


List of Ingredients

1 head garlic, unpeeled
16 medium red potatoes (2 1/2 lbs.)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan
1 pinch ground white pepper, to taste


Recipe

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Cut top 1/4 inch off garlic head and wrap head in foil. Roast garlic 40 to 50 minutes, or until very soft, and cool. Squeeze roasted garlic from head and reserve. In a 4-quart saucepan cover potatoes with water by 2 inches and simmer until very tender, about 30 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander (do not peel). Transfer potatoes while still hot to a large bowl and add butter. With an electric mixer on low speed mash slightly. Beat in sour cream, buttermilk, chives, and oil until combined well. Add Parmesan, reserved garlic, pepper, and salt to taste, beating until smooth. Serves 4 to 6.
