• Yield: 1 ( 6 Servings )
• Prep: 20 mins
• Cook: 60 mins
• Ready In: 1 hr 20 mins

Ingredients

• 2 heads garlic
• 3 tbs water
• 6 medium red potatoes
• 3/4 cup milk
• 3 tbs butter
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
• pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Ahead of time: Cut off bottom fourth of each head of garlic – enough to expose the ends of all the cloves.

   Place in a pouch made of heavy-duty or double-thickness aluminum foil and add 3 tablespoons water.

   Securely seal the pouch. In a 350-degree oven or toaster oven, roast garlic until very tender when poked with a sharp knife (about 1 hour).

   Allow garlic to cool. When garlic is cooled, squeeze the cloves into a small bowl and set aside while making the potatoes.

2. Peel and cut potatoes into chunks. Place in a large saucepan and cover with cold water.
   
3. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Drain.
4. In another pan, heat milk until very hot but not boiling.
5. Place potatoes in a bowl. Add butter, salt and garlic. Start mixer on a medium-low setting.
6. Slowly pour in about half the milk. When well-blended, stop mixer and scrape down bowl.
7. Add parmesan cheese, more salt if needed and black pepper to taste.
8. Start mixer again, slowly adding milk until desired fluffiness is achieved.
