One of my favorite foods growing up was creamy mashed potatoes. My mother served it whenever we had dairy for dinner, and I would eat about three-quarters of the serving bowl.

Serves 3–4
Roasted Garlic
Prepare the garlic: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the top off of the head of garlic so that the tops of the cloves are exposed and drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap in aluminum foil and place in the oven for an hour.
Meanwhile, peel and cube the potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender. Strain, mash, and set aside.
