Wrap the garlic head in foil and drizzle olive oil over the garlic. close the foil around the garlic and roast in oven at 375 degrees F for about an hour.

- Drain and return potatoes to pot, along with the roasted garlic cloves.
- Gently warm the half and half and butter until butter is melted (this can be done on the stovetop or microwave). Add to the pot with the potatoes and garlic, along with salt and pepper. Mash until milk and butter are incorporated and potatoes are a creamy consistency with some lumps.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and more butter, serve.
