Preparation

• 1
  Preheat the oven to 200°C
• 2
  Halve the potatoes and put in a pot with cold water and salt. Boil them on the stove for about 20 minutes until tender

  At the same time that you are boiling the potatoes take the whole head of garlic and slice just the top and bottom parts off leaving the skin intact. Sprinkle the olive oil on the ends that you have removed
• 4
  Wrap the garlic in aluminium foil and bake for 20 minutes or until it is soft to the touch. Preparing the garlic this way will give the mash more flavour

  Combine the cream and milk and butter. Squeeze the soft garlic out of its skin into this mixture. Lightly heat this mixture until the butter melts

  Add this mixture to the potato and mash with a masher
• 7
