Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Roasted Garlic blend buttery Yukon Golds with the mellow sweetness of oven-roasted garlic for a plush, aromatic mash. Reduced-fat cream cheese and sour cream add tang and body without heaviness, while black pepper brings gentle warmth. Serve alongside roasted meats or holiday mains, or make it the star beside crisp green vegetables.

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2

Peel off the outer skin from the garlic head, leaving the individual cloves intact. Slice 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the top to expose all the cloves. Rub the top with olive oil, using your fingers to work it in. Wrap in foil and set in a baking dish.
3

Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
4

When the garlic is about halfway through roasting, put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender but still firm, 15 to 20 minutes. They should break once when poked with a fork. Drain.
5

Take the garlic out of the oven. Squeeze the garlic from each clove into a small bowl and mash with a fork.
6

Return the potatoes to the pot and combine with the cream cheese, margarine, milk, sour cream, and garlic. Stir in the salt and pepper.
