Ingredients
- 3 1/2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
- Kosher salt
- 8 to 10 garlic cloves
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover by 1-inch with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, add salt, to taste, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, create a boat shape out of aluminum foil and add the garlic cloves. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and drizzle with oil. Seal the foil and roast until the garlic is nicely caramelized, about 30 minutes. Heat the half-and-half in a small saucepan over low heat until hot.
- Drain the potatoes and put them back into the pot. The heat from the pot will continue to dry out the potatoes. Add the half-and-half, butter and roasted garlic and mash. Fold in the apples and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

This was off-the-chain. I made this as a side at a charity banquet for our church in February. I am still having people walk up to me in stores and comment about how good they were. The apples give a nice contrast to the potatoes. I was a little skeptical about these combinations until I tried them. Awesome Guy! Keep ’em coming!
Different but REALLY good. I used twice the amount of garlic called for and fat free half & half and it turned out great. The roasted garlic is sweet and the crisp, coolness of the Granny Smith Apples just gave the dish whole different dimensions than plain mashies. This was PERFECT with a glazed, spiral sliced Ham & Roasted Asparagus. You should try this with your Easter Ham….everyone will be SO impressed. The potatoes do not need gravy but maybe a little of the pan drippings on the plate and serve the potatoes on top. Thanks GUY. Just about every recipe of yours that I try is top notch. Keep em’ coming.
PS…….I just had the left overs last night. A hint here…..don’t underestimate or under use the fresh cracked black pepper in this dish. So many people use white pepper or none at all in Mashies. The fresh cracked (and I used a lot just accentuates perfectly the sweetness of the roasted garlic and the apples. I can’t get over how much I LOVE this recipe.

I have flagged the review posted on 12-27-10. Hopefully they will take it off before too many others have to read such shameful words. Everyone has different tastes, but their is no need for such ignorance in reviewing any recipe you like or dislike. I appreciate the fact we have this site to try something new! Let’s keep it nice 🙂
QUICK AND EASY. IT WENT VERY WELL WITH SOME BBQ PORK CHOPS. I WAS SCEPTICAL AT FIRST, BUT GLAD I TRIED IT. I ALSO LIKED IT MORE LATER WHEN THE APPLE GOT SOFT.
Loved making these mashed potatoes with the Pork Roast. My husband was skeptical on how the apples would taste in the potatoes, so I only used one Granny Smith cut up (fed the other one that was cut up to birds/deer – lol), and we both loved it. The potatoes didn’t really need any type of gravy to go on them, but a little of the jus made up from the roast was a nice touch on them too. The roast was awesome. Made up the rub the night before and let it marinate overnight in frig. Love your recipes, Guy! Will have to try the drink you had with this too….
This sounded so unusual that I just had to try it and am sssooo glad I did!!! I don’t even care for potatoes, but this was sheer heavenly!! THANK YOU!!!!
Enjoy folks!!!
very good my wifes not a big fan of potataoes but one taste of this dinner… well she ask when i’m going to make them again
Made these for a dinner with pork – amazing! The apple adds a really nice texture and surprising crunch. They were a big hit. I added a little skim milk to thin them about a little bit because they were super dense.
I served the entire show to company…. the double mustard pork roast, the Adams’ Apple Mashed Potatoes and the Green Bean and Feta Cheese salad! The were all fantastic! All easy to make and easy to pre-prepare so you are not spending your company time in the kitchen. My husband was very interested in knowing if it was difficult to make since he is certain he wants to eat all the recipes again! This meal is definitely going to become a tradition in our household and I am certain the potatoes will find their way to other dinners too. They are too delicious to only serve with pork! Thanks Guy!!!
Easy, good, & different! Always love the garlic with potatoes but the apples added a great texture and a slight sweet taste. Will be making this again!
