1
Prepare the Garlic
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap it in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until soft and golden brown.
2
Prepare the Potatoes
While the garlic is roasting, peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into chunks of roughly equal size (about 1-2 inches). This will ensure they cook evenly.

3
Boil the Potatoes
In a large pot, add the potato chunks and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and into the potatoes. Add the butter and heavy cream.

5
Mix and Serve
Use a potato masher or hand mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth. Season with black pepper and additional salt to taste. If desired, stir in fresh chives for extra flavor. Serve warm.
