Roast Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
3 heads of garlic, top 1/2-inch cut away
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds baking potatoes, like russets or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup heavy cream

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Place the garlic on a pie pan and drizzle with the oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and roast for until the garlic is very tender and golden brown, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the head to release the cloves into a small bowl. Use a fork to mash the garlic until smooth.

Place the potatoes and 1 teaspoon of salt in a medium pot and cover with water by 1-inch. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain in a colander. Return to the saucepan over medium heat and cook 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low, add the mashed garlic and butter, and mash using a hand-held masher. Add the cream and continue to mash until thoroughly combined and the desired consistency is reached. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper, and serve immediately. 6 servings

Then drain WELL, add butter and half&half, Use hand mixer until as smooth and creamy as you want. Bunches of calories, but very good. Salt to taste.

Answer 6

Boil the potatoes with several heads of garlic and then discard the garlic before mashing or ricing. Then, of course, butter, milk, salt, pepper, and perhaps a bit of sour cream or buttermilk. Of course, some grated cheddar cheese can add a wonderful flavor as well.
