1
Prepare the Garlic
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Take the garlic cloves, peel them, and wrap them in aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil and seal the foil tightly.
2
Roast the Garlic
Place the wrapped garlic in the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
3
Cook the Potatoes
While the garlic is roasting, peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, add 1 tsp of salt, and bring to a boil.
4
Boil the Potatoes
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.

5
Squeeze the Garlic
After the garlic has cooled enough to handle, squeeze the roasted cloves out of their skins directly into the pot with the potatoes.
6
Add Butter and Cream
Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream to the pot with the potatoes and garlic.
7
Mash the Potatoes
Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, mash to your desired consistency.
8
Season the Mash
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste, mixing well to incorporate.

9
Garnish
If desired, sprinkle with chopped chives and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
10
Serve
Transfer the roasted garlic mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and enjoy warm.
