Steps

1

Place garlic in a small oven proof pan/ bowl and put 2 ounces of oil in the pan cover with foil tightly.( I like to cut through the center of the head of garlic.Roast in oven till soft, approx. 15 -25 minutes at 350 degrees F. It should be soft, tender, and very lightly brown. Take out from the oil and take off the skins and smash up to add later
2

Peel potatoes and cut into 1” dice- consistent size is most important. Place in sauce pan and cover by one inch with cold water add salt to taste slightly salty Bring the potatoes to a boil and turn down to a simmer –cook until they are tender. About 20 -25 minutes
3

Test the potatoes for doneness before draining
4

Place cooked potatoes in a kitchen aid mixer or a large bowl with a hand mixer. Add the roasted garlic, milk and butter to the potatoes. Whip until fluffy, over whipping will cause them to become gummy-rubbery. Adjust seasoning as needed
