Ingredients

  • 1 head of garlic
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 ½-4  lbs. Russet potatoes
  • 16 oz. Swanson Cream StarterTM Traditional or Reduced Fat
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Butter for topping optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Remove loose layers from head of garlic, then cut the top off, as shown in picture. 
  • Place in a square of aluminum foil, then drizzle with olive oil.
  • Seal up foil packet.
  • Roast garlic in oven for 40-45 minutes.
  • Once roasted, let cool completely.
  • Peel potatoes and dice into chunks.
  • Place potatoes in large pot and cover with 1 inch of water. 
  • Season with 1 tsp. of salt.
  • Bring to a boil, and then simmer until potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Once cooked, drain the potatoes.
  • Squeeze garlic out of the skin, and combine with potatoes.  
  • Place Swanson Cream StarterTM in small pot over medium-low heat.  
  • In large bowl, beat potatoes with electric mixer along with roasted garlic.
  • Once smooth, slowly add in Swanson Cream StarterTM, until desired consistency is reached. (I had about ¼ cup left, which I saved and used to "re-hydrate" leftovers.)
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
  • Enjoy!
