• 1 whole head of garlic
  
• 1 tsp olive oil
  
• *
  
• 1 lb. potatoes, peeled and quartered
  
• 2 quarts water
  
• 1/4 cup 1% lowfat milk
  
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions



1. For the Roasted Garlic Puree: Preheat oven to 325 degrees (F). Slice off the top of the garlic bulb so the inside portion of the individual garlic cloves are just exposed. Place the bulb on a small baking dish and rub 1 teaspoon olive oil over the cut portion of the cloves. Bake for 20 minutes or until the garlic bulb is soft to the touch; allow to cool. When the garlic bulb is cool, break it open and squeeze the garlic pulp from the skins. Discard the skins and peels. Puree the roasted garlic in a food processor until it is a paste.
   
   
2. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the potatoes, then bring the water to a simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Remove the pan from the heat and drain.
   
   
3. Add the milk, salt, white pepper and 1-1/2 tablespoons of the Roasted Garlic Puree. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients until they are smooth. Serve immediately.
