Garlic Mashed Potato Recipe

1 large head garlic (8 to 10 cloves)
1 teaspoon olive oil
4lbs Maris Piper (red) potatoes, peeled and quartered
3oz (120g) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (125ml) single cream

Preheat the oven to 220C/425F, gas mark 7.
Cut the top 1/4 inch off the head of garlic. Rub the olive oil, salt and freshly milled black pepper all over the surface. Cover the exposed top with a small piece of kitchen foil. Place on a baking tray and roast for 25 to 30 minutes until just tender. Remove from the oven. Once cool, Peel the skin off (don't worry about any browned parts of the clove as they will add color and flavor).
Put the potatoes into a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Over a high heat, bring the pan to the boil, cover and simmer steadily for approximately 20 to 25 minutes until tender in the centre.
Carefully drain off the water, and then while holding the lid firmly in place, shake the pan vigorously to start breaking up the potatoes.
Cut the butter into chunks and add it along with the cream, the garlic cloves and a generous seasoning of salt and freshly milled black pepper. Place the lid back on the pan and leave for a few minutes for the butter to melt.
Now cream the potatoes. If you like your mash very smooth and light, use a hand held electric whisk on slow speed. If like me however, you prefer it with some texture, then mash it using a potato masher to the desired consistency. It's now ready to serve.
