ROASTED GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Ingredients
2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
Water (enough to cover potatoes)
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 bulb Roasted Garlic (recipe below), or 2 tablespoons roasted garlic from jar
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
1. Place potatoes in a pot and add water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook about 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
2. Drain and return potatoes to pan. Add remaining ingredients and mash to desired consistency.

Makes 4-6 servings

Roasted Garlic
When I roast garlic, I usually do several heads at a time. Freshly roasted garlic is also superb served on hot bread instead of butter.

1 large head garlic
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove white, papery outer layer from garlic, leaving head intact. (Do not peel or separate cloves).
2. Cut off top 1/4 inch of cloves, brush with olive oil and season to taste. Wrap in foil and bake for 40 minutes or until soft.
3. When cool, squeeze soft garlic pulp from cloves by pushing hard on the garlic head.

Makes about 2 tablespoons

Microwave Garlic
For the no-time-to-wait version, try microwaving the oil-coated garlic cloves, unpeeled, on high for 1 minute or until you begin to smell them. This isn't as good as oven-roasted garlic, but it softens the flavor as roasting does, when you need it quickly!
