Serves: 2-4

  3. Peel and dice the potatoes.
  4. Boil the potatoes until fork tender, about 20-30 minutes.
  5. Drain potatoes and return to pan.
  6. Add butter to the hot potatoes. Once the butter starts to melt, begin mashing with a potato masher.
  7. When the big chunks are mashed, add the sour cream, half-and-half, salt, and mash some more. Make sure to taste and salt as needed. You may also need to add a little more half-and-half if the potatoes are too dry.
  8. Set the potatoes back on the burner on low/warm and continue.
  9. Rough chop the roasted garlic cloves and add half of the cloves to the potatoes. Mash (or stir) them in. Taste and see if you would like more garlic flavor before adding the remainder to the potatoes. Add in if desired.
  10. Warm potatoes to desired temperature and serve.
