Preparation

Step 1

1. Cut 1/2 inch of top of garlic head; remove any loose papery skin, leaving head unpeeled. Wrap in foil. Roast in 425 degree F. oven for about 40 minutes or until very soft when squeezed.
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Peel and cut potatoes into large chunks. Cook in boiling water for 15-20 minutes or until tender but not mushy. Drain well in colander.
3. Return potatoes to saucepan; heat over low heat, shaking pan occasionally for 2 minutes to dry completely. Turn off heat. Squeeze garlic out of skins into potatoes; add butter and mash until smooth. This can be done by a hand masher or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add cream, salt and pepper; mash or stir until fluffy.
