Bennagin's Garlic Mashed Potatoes (Copycat)

1 pound red potatoes 
1/4 C half and half 
3 T butter 
4 cloves roasted garlic 

To get the REAL flavor, these potatoes need to be baked, not boiled. Bake them in a 350 oven for 20-30 mins. This would be a great time to roast the garlic too. You can either use a traditional roaster, or just wrap the bulb in foil and roast that, be sure to coat the bulb with olive oil. Remove the potatoes from oven and allow them to cool. You can leave the peels on or off. I leave a few of them on. Chop potatoes, add butter, and half and half, and mix with an electric mixture. Add cloves of garlic, and add salt and pepper to taste. You will want to reheat the potatoes before serving.
