How To Roast Garlic
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook potatoes and the 5 garlic cloves about 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork; remove from heat and drain.
Squeeze out the cloves from the cooled roasted garlic heads and add to the
mashed potatoes with the other ingredients.
Mash potatoes, garlic, and roasted garlic cloves with a potato masher or
potato
ricer (do not use your electric mixer) until there are no lumps. Add butter, sour cream, and heavy cream; blend until well mixed. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
I personally use a potato
ricer when making mashed potatoes. Using a potato ricer, you can make velvety smooth mashed
potatoes right at home because potatoes come out fluffy without being gummy. Once
you use the potato rice, you will never go back to the old traditional
potato masher. If you don't have one and would like to purchase a
potato ricer, check out

Garlic mashed potatoes are so good! Especially great with steak.
