Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup sour cream
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese
• 2 whole heads garlic, top third sliced off and discarded

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Place garlic heads in a baking dish and drizzle each with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until garlic is soft and brown, about 45 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and stir in sea salt. Cook potatoes in salted water until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain.

Step 5

Transfer potatoes to a large bowl; add sour cream, butter, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cover the bowl with a lid or a piece of aluminum foil and let stand to soften butter and cream cheese, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Squeeze roasted garlic from cloves into potato mixture; mash potatoes until smooth, creamy, and thoroughly combined.
