Ingredients:
- 1 medium garlic head
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 lbs. russet potatoes, peeled & washed
- 4 tbsp. butter, softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- salt and pepper
- gravy (optional)
Directions:

- Cut off the top part of the garlic head, drizzle it in olive oil and wrap it in aluminum foil. Bake for about an hour or until the garlic is softened. Squeeze out the cloves.
- Over high heat, bring a large pot of water with salt to a boil. Add in the peeled potatoes and cook until tender, which will take between 15 and 20 minutes.
- Drain the pot. Allow the potatoes to cool and chop them up into 1 inch pieces.
- Return the potatoes to the pot and turn the heat to low. Add in the butter, milk, salt and pepper and roasted garlic cloves into the pot. Use a potato/garlic masher to mash the potatoes into the rest of the ingredients. Taste and season with more salt and milk if needed. Alternatively, you can use a mixer to combine the ingredients.
