Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Slice off the top of the garlic head and drizzle with olive oil.
3. Wrap the garlic head in foil and roast in the oven for 45-55 minutes or until the garlic cloves are golden brown and very soft. Remove the golden cloves from the skin.
4. Peel and cube the potatoes, then place them in a large pot of cold salted water. If you're not using roasted garlic, add 10-12 cloves of raw sliced garlic to the water.
5. Boil the potatoes and garlic, uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain well.
6. Heat the cream and butter until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm.
7. Mash the potatoes and roasted garlic using a potato masher until smooth.
8. Add the cream mixture a little bit at a time while mashing to reach the desired consistency.
9. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
