Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the garlic on a pie pan and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until tender and golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool. Squeeze or remove the garlic cloves from the head and place in a small bowl. Using a fork, mash the garlic until smooth. Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until fork tender, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and drain. Place the potatoes back in the pot and return to the heat. Stir the potatoes, constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes to dehydrate the potatoes. Remove the potatoes from the heat. Add the garlic and butter. Using a hand-held masher, mash the butter and garlic into the potatoes. Add enough cream until desired texture is achieved. The potatoes should still be sort of lumpy. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.

ROASTED ELEPHANT GARLIC MASHED POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place the garlic cloves, peppercorns and thyme in an ovenproof saucepan and cover with olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and place the uncovered pot in the oven. Bake for 2 1/2 hours. Remove the garlic from the oil, remove the skin and blend until smooth and creamy in a food processor. In a large pot, add potatoes and cover with cold water. Season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, skimming off the foam on the water. Reduce the heat to a fast simmer and cook the potatoes until just tender (a knife can pierce them). Immediately drain the potatoes into a colander and allow them to steam for 5 minutes. Bring 1 cup half-and-half to a boil. Using a food mill or electric mixer, mix potatoes and 1/2 cup butter until smooth. Gradually add half-and-half until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. Taste and add additional butter or half-and-half, if needed. Add the garlic puree and green onions. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
