Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Preheat oven to 140°C. Cut a small slit at the top of the garlic bulbs so that each clove is cut. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Wrap both bulbs in aluminum foil, leaving the tops of the cloves exposed. Place the garlic bulbs in the oven for about 1 1/2 hours. Peel and dice the potatoes, boil in salted water for about 25 minutes until soft, then drain. Remove the garlic bulbs from the oven and carefully press the cloves out of the bulb. Heat the milk. Purée the soft, roasted garlic in a blender with the warm milk until finely chopped. Mash the cooked potatoes with a potato masher, pour in half of the garlic milk, and mix. Gradually add the garlic milk. Stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a little grated nutmeg.
