1
Peeling and Chopping
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into even chunks, approximately 1-2 inches in size.
2
Boiling
Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot, add cold water to cover them, and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3
Preparing the Garlic
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Take the whole garlic bulbs and slice the top off to expose the cloves.
4
Roasting
Drizzle the exposed garlic cloves with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and wrap the bulbs in aluminum foil. Place in the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes until the cloves are soft and caramelized.

5
Draining
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
6
Adding Ingredients
Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1 cup of heavy cream, and the roasted garlic cloves (squeezed from their skins) into the pot with the potatoes.
7
Mashing
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer until smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to taste.

8
Final Touch
Transfer the roasted garlic mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Optionally, drizzle with a little extra olive oil on top and sprinkle with fresh herbs like chives or parsley before serving.
