Ingredients:

• 2 garlic bulbs  
• Olive oil (optional)  
• 3 pounds potatoes, peeled and quartered  
• 2 tsp. salt, divided  
• 1/4 cup whipping cream  
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese  
• 3 Tbsp. butter or margarine, softened  
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley  
• 1/2 tsp. pepper  
• Garnish: fresh thyme sprigs

Method

Cut off pointed ends of garlic bulbs: place garlic on a piece of aluminum foil, and drizzle with oil, if desired. Fold foil to seal. Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes; cool to touch. Squeeze pulp from garlic cloves and set aside. Bring potato, 1 teaspoon salt, and water to cover to a boil in a Dutch oven; boil 20-25 minutes or until potato is tender. Drain. Mash potato, or press through a ricer. Stir in garlic, remaining 1 tsp. salt, whipping cream and next 4 ingredients. Garnish, if desired.

Notes: Add a little more milk if desired. I actually added about 1/4 cup skim milk and the consistancy was just right.

Number of servings: 6
