| 1 whole head garlic, roasted | 1 – 1½ medium potatoes per diner | |
| 3 tbsp butter | ¼ c. whole milk, half & half, or cream | |
| 1/3 c. shredded Parmesan | 1 tbsp dried parsley | |
| salt & pepper to taste |
To Roast Garlic:
1. Cut the top off of all the individual cloves of the head, keeping the entire head of garlic intact.
2. Place in a square of aluminum foil that will be large enough to wrap the entire head & enclose it.
3. Drizzle olive oil over the top & sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt.
4. Wrap the garlic in the foil & place in 350°F oven for 1 hour.
For Main Dish:
1. Cut potatoes into roughly bite sized pieces, close to the same size. Place potatoes in a large stock pot & cover with enough water to just barely cover the potatoes.
2. Bring to a boil & reduce heat to medium & simmer for approximately 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
3. Remove the potatoes from the water, but place them back into the still warm pot. Add butter & milk, & mash with either potato masher or electric hand mixer until it begins to smooth but is still quite lumpy.
4. Add parmesan & continue to mash until you reached the desired consistency. Add parsley on top for garnish & enjoy.
