Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Place a single layer of garlic cloves on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Roast in 400 degree Fahrenheit preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until soft. Unwrap and let cool until touchable. Peel cloves and mash with potatoes when they are ready. Wash and rinse potatoes under cold water. It is not necessary to peel potatoes, unless you desire. In large sauce pan (or pot), bring red potatoes to a slow boil for approximately 20 minutes. The exact time depends on the size of the potatoes used. For faster cooking, cut into smaller pieces. Internal temperature should be 205 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from heat and drain in colander. In pan or bowl, combine potatoes, peeled and roasted garlic cloves, and all other ingredients and mash with a potato masher. Return mashed potatoes to low heat, if necessary, to bring them to a serving temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
