Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast 35-40 minutes until soft and golden. Cool slightly, squeeze out cloves, and mash to a paste.

  2. Peel and cut potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Cover with cold water, add 1 teaspoon salt, bring to a boil, then simmer 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
