4 yummy garlic mashed Recipes

head garlic, olive oil, russet potatoes, peeled and quartered, butter, softened, milk, salt and pepper

similar sized red skinned potatoes so they will cook at the same time and no cutting required, coarse salt - i use kosher, stock or chicken broth ( if you are vegetarian use vegetable ), store bought pesto from the refrigerated section, more cloves garlic to taste (optional)

cream-style cottage cheese (i use 2 packages of cream cheese instead. really makes it rich and creamy and oh so yummy!!), sour cream, green onions, sliced, garlic, minced (i have used garlic powder instead and it is still yummy), salt, diced cooked potatoes (keep it chunky, or smooth it out to make a more mashed-potato kind of dish), american cheese (i use cheddar), paprika
