| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Yukon Gold potatoes | 2 pounds |
| Garlic cloves | 1 whole bulb |
| Unsalted butter | 4 tablespoons |
| Heavy cream | 1/2 cup |
| Salt | to taste |
| Black pepper | to taste |
| Fresh chives (optional) | for garnish |
Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will be used to roast the garlic.
- Prepare the Garlic: Take the whole bulb of garlic and slice off the top (about 1/4 inch), exposing the individual cloves. Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over the exposed cloves and wrap the bulb in aluminum foil.

- Drain the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot. This allows the steam to escape, which helps in achieving a fluffy texture.
- Combine Ingredients: Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins into the pot with the potatoes. Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream to the potatoes as well.
- Mash the Potatoes: Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to over-mash, as this can lead to a gummy texture.
