RECIPE TIPS
PARSNIP & GRUYèRE WITH SAGE
Roast 1kg parsnips as before. Mash well, then mix with 100ml warmed milk and 50g grated Gruyère. Heat 25g butter in a pan and fry 3 sliced garlic cloves until golden. Toss in a handful shredded sage leaves for 30 secs, then stir into the mash. Try with pan-fried pork chops or pork tenderloin.
SWEDE & CARROT WITH WINTER HERBS
Roast 1kg swede and 1kg carrots as before, adding a handful chopped rosemary and thyme leaves 10 mins before the end. Mash with 100ml milk or stock and season. Delicious with sausages and stews.

Is it two bulbs or two cloves? Two bulbs does seem quite a bit to much! I would definitely feel paranoid about burping after two bulbs!!

Hi, yes it's two bulbs. The roasting softens, mellows and sweetens the garlic so it's not overpowering, but it does still give a definite garlic flavour. As you tried, you can reduce the garlic to your tastes if you don't want it too strong. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

I used swede instead of squash and this was divine mash. Not garlicky in spite of putting 3 whole bulbs in (I did1.5x the amount). I highly recommend this.

This is a sublime mash! Very easy to make and goes perfectly with the one-pot chicken chasseur. My family request this dish again and again.

I used plain potatoes and added a spoonful of sugar instead. I left out the garlic and chilli as I don't like them. Made it for a family meal to celebrate my step dad coming out of prison and he it was a hit with everyone.
