01Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut off the tip of the head of the garlic exposing the cloves. Drizzle olive oil over the head rubbing all over the cuts. Wrap in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cloves feel soft.
02Place potatoes in a large pot covered with cold water. Add salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, and cook until fork tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
03Add the butter, cream, and roasted garlic to the pan with the potatoes. Cover and let the butter melt. Using a handheld potato masher, combine until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with a few pats of butter and chopped fresh herbs.
