Ingredients
Scale

- 1 whole head of garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup warm heavy cream or milk
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35–40 minutes until soft and golden.
- Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain well.

- Gradually mix in warm cream or milk until smooth and creamy.
- Season generously with salt and pepper, and garnish with herbs if desired.
Notes
💡 Tip: Roasting garlic mellows its sharpness and adds a deep, nutty flavor. For extra creaminess, use a potato ricer and warm all ingredients before mixing!
