Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 1 Garlic bulb
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the tops of the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden brown. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Peel and cut the potatoes into 2-inch chunks. Place in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 4

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 5

While the potatoes are cooking, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a small bowl and mash them into a paste using a fork.

Step 6

Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for about 5 minutes to let any remaining moisture evaporate.

Step 7

Add the butter, heavy cream, milk, roasted garlic paste, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.

Step 8

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add more milk or cream if needed to reach your desired consistency.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
