Instructions

1. Roast the garlic.  (You can find the detailed instructions here.). Once cooled, remove the cloves of garlic from the paper wrappers and smash with a fork.  Set aside.
2. Wash and peel the potatoes.
3. Cut the peeled potatoes into equal sized chunks.
4. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover the potatoes with water.  (Add a little bit of salt to the water)
5. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat.  Simmer the potatoes until they are tender.
6. While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small pan.  Add the milk and cream and stir as the milk warms up but does not come to a boil.  Take the milk off the heat, add the smashed Roasted Garlic and mix.
7. Drain the water from the potatoes and place the cooked potatoes into a bowl.
8. Smash the potatoes with a fork or a potato masher.
9. Add the Roasted Garlic, Butter and Milk mixture to the potatoes.
10. Stir with a spoon until combined. (If you want a smoother mashed potato, use a hand mixer.)
11. Salt and Pepper to taste.
12. Serve immediately.
