Cut the top off a bulb of garlic, being careful not to separate the cloves.

Place the garlic bulb on a sheet of foil, season with salt, pepper, and olive oil, and wrap it up.

Roast the garlic in the oven at 180°C for around 20 minutes.

Boil 750 g of peeled and cubed red potatoes until softened.

Drain the potatoes and place them in a bowl.

Use a fork to mash the potatoes.

Add 100 g of sour cream, 2 tbsp of butter, 0.5 tsp of black pepper, 1 tsp of salt, and 3 to 5 roasted garlic cloves to the potatoes.

Mix everything together.

If the potatoes are slightly dry, add up to 0.5 cup of milk if needed.

For chunkier potatoes, continue mashing with a fork; for smoother potatoes, use a hand mixer.

Top the mashed potatoes with extra butter before serving.
