Steps
Preheat oven to 400 F. (200 C.) Slice 15 small-medium red potatoes into quarters, this will make them boil faster. Place them in a pot and fill with water till just covering. Boil for 20-30 minutes, or until you can pierce through one easily with a fork.
Remove cloves from a head of garlic, peel each one, and place them in the center of a square of tinfoil. Drizzle with olive oil, and loosely close the foil over the garlic. Roast for 15-20 minutes while potatoes boil.
Mince 1 tbsp. fresh rosemary and 2 tbsp. chives. Grate 8 oz. parmesan cheese (yes, a full cup!)
Once potatoes are done boiling, strain them in a colander and place them back in the pot. Remove roasted garlic from the oven. Add roasted garlic, grated parmesan, mixed herbs, 2 oz. salted butter, and ½ cup heavy cream to the pot with boiled potatoes. Use a potato masher to mash everything together, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
