Variation
For the potatoes, mash 1 lb of cooked, drained potatoes with a pestle. Toss with 1/2 cup hot milk and 1/4 cup melted butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Gourmet: The head of garlic will take on a creamy texture during cooking. When ready to serve, you can remove the cooked cloves from their husks and spread them on bread, for example.
