Roasted garlic

1. Toss the garlic and butter on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
2. Roast at 275 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
3. Mash the warm garlic with a fork or puree in a food processor until smooth.
4. Chill until needed (if not using immediately).

Mashed potatoes

1. Peel the potatoes and dice them into small pieces (around a half inch cubed).
2. Place the potatoes in a large stockpot and cover with water (you’ll want at least a half an inch of water over the potatoes).
3. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 25-30 minutes, until very tender. Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl.
4. Add the melted butter, milk, salt, pepper, and roasted garlic butter.
5. Mix with the whip attachment of a stand mixer or hand-held mixer on medium speed until smooth.
