1
Roasting the Garlic
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap each bulb in aluminum foil. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, until golden and soft.
2
Preparing the Potatoes
While the garlic is roasting, peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

3
Cooking the Potatoes
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot.
4
Mashing the Potatoes
Add the roasted garlic (squeezed out of the skins), remaining olive oil, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley to the drained potatoes. Use a potato masher or fork to smash everything together until you reach your desired consistency.

5
Final Touches
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If desired, stir in butter and sour cream for added creaminess. Serve warm as a side dish.
