Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Slice off the top 1/4 inch of the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap tightly in foil, and roast for about an hour until soft and golden. Once cooled, squeeze out the roasted cloves.
- 2. Place the quartered red potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add a teaspoon of kosher salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
- 3. In a small saucepan, gently heat the butter and half-and-half together until the butter has melted. Keep it warm.
- 4. Return the drained potatoes to the pot, add the roasted garlic, pour in the warm butter and half-and-half mixture, and mash until creamy but with some lumps remaining. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- 5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
