Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Garlic
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice off the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap it in aluminum foil.

Step 2: Boil the Potatoes
- Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot.
Step 3: Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
- Add the roasted garlic paste, butter, milk, and sour cream to the potatoes.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Step 4: Make the Parmesan Crumble
- In a small bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, melted butter, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix well until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with the butter and seasoning.
Step 5: Assemble and Bake

- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a baking dish and spread them out evenly.
