Made some delicious Garlic Mashed Potatoes this weekend. They were a side for the Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding on sunday.
 
First, on saturday I roasted two garlics. On one I trimmed the tips off and on the other, left them on. This was a small experiment to see which way is better. Both got 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a tablespoon of water over them. Roasated at 325 for about an hour.
 
Put them in the fridge overnight. The next day, I squoze the garlic out of the paperlike skin. The trimmed garlics were actually harder to get out. The untrimmed ones held the garlic in while I put pressure on the cloves pulling them off the bulb. They easily popped open afterwards. The trimmed ones on the other hand squeezed out with the slightest pressure and made things pretty messy. So, now we know, and I won't trim them anymore.
 
Peeled and boiled about 4 lbs of russets. Added whole milk, white pepper and kosher salt to them, along with the garlic.
 
 
They turned oout very tasty and had a mellow garlic flavor in the background, even with two bulbs worth. Just the right amount it seemed. They went very well with the roast and rounded out the meal perfectly.

I really have to try that Yorkshire pudding....John, do you think it would turn out OK in a muffin tin? I'd like to do idividual ones...I imagine I would have to cut down the baking time slightly.
Go ahead...play with your food!

Looks fantastic John and great experiment with the garlic. I have never roasted garlic before but will have to keep it in mind. Mashed potatos are one of my favorite side dishes.
 
Several weeks ago I made something very similar. Horseradish mashed potatos.
Very much the same process you out line here.
I used red potatos and mashed them with the skins on.
Added 1 16oz container of sour cream.
1 stick of butter
2 or 3 T of prepared horseradish or to your liking.
They were very smooth and creamy with just the right amount of horseradish.

Hi Dave, yees they can be made in muffin tins. I found a youtube short video on making Yorkshire pudding and she made them in muffin tins and they came out like beautiful little popovers. She did bake them for near 40 minutes tho. I say go for it, should be no problem!
