Garlic Mashed Potatoes


1 head of garlic
1 lb. of potatoes (about 3 medium)
½ cup butter
Milk
Salt

Preheat your oven to 350F. Cut about ¼” off the small end of a full head of garlic, place it cut side down on a piece of foil, sprinkle with olive oil or vegetable oil, cover and roast in the oven for 45 minutes.While the garlic is roasting peel and cut the potatoes into quarters and add to cold salted water then bring to a boil. Cook for about 20-25 minutes. Remove the garlic from the oven and open the foil allowing the garlic to cool slightly. Then use a cloth or a paper towel to squeeze the hot roasted cloves into the cooked potatoes. If you are having trouble removing the cloves, use a knife or a fork to dislodge them. Add the butter and enough milk to make the potatoes light and fluffy.
