Ingredients

1 whole garlic head
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound peeled Yukon Gold or red potatoes, quartered
3 cups water
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove white papery skin from garlic head (do not peel or separate cloves). Rub oil over garlic head; wrap in foil. Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour; cool 10 minutes. Separate cloves; squeeze to extract garlic pulp. Set aside. Discard skins. Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook 15 minutes or until very tender. Drain. Heat milk in pan over medium heat until hot (do not boil). Add potatoes, salt and pepper, and beat at medium speed of a mixer until potato mixture is smooth. Add garlic pulp and stir well.
