What it is

To prepare, simply heat the mashed potatoes according to package directions. This usually involves microwaving for a few minutes until hot, or heating gently in a saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Ensure the potatoes are heated through before serving. You can add a splash of milk or a knob of butter if you prefer a creamier texture, though it is often ready to eat as is.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain mashed potatoes, the addition of roasted garlic provides a deeper, sweeter, and more complex flavor. Roasting the garlic mellows its sharp bite, bringing out a mellow, nutty sweetness that complements the creamy potatoes beautifully.
