Directions:
1. Toast garlic, covered, in small skillet over lowest possible heat, shaking pan frequently, until cloves are dark spotty brown and slightly softened, about 22 minutes. Off heat, let stand, covered, until fully softened, 15 to 20 minutes. Peel cloves and, with paring knife, cut off woody root end. Set aside.

2. While garlic is toasting, place potatoes in large saucepan and cover with 1 inch water. Bring to boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender (a paring knife can be slipped into and out of center of potatoes with very little resistance), 20 to 30 minutes. Drain water from potatoes.

3. Mince garlic, add to drained potatoes. Mash potatoes. Stir in butter with wooden spoon until incorporated; gently whisk in half-and-half, salt, and pepper to taste. Mash again until smooth. Serve immediately.
