Ingredients

10 servings

•

1 head garlic
•

2 tablespoons olive oil
•

5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
•

4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
•

6 tablespoons margarine

•

½ cup skim milk
•

½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
•

½ teaspoon salt
•

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Remove outer skin from garlic head, leaving individual cloves intact. Cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the top, exposing all cloves. Coat top of garlic with olive oil and use your fingers to work it in. Wrap in foil and place in a baking dish.
Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
When the garlic is about halfway done, place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, but still firm, 15 to 20 minutes. When poked with a fork, they should break once. Drain.
Remove garlic from the oven. Squeeze garlic from each clove into a small bowl and mash with a fork.
Return potatoes to the pot and mix with cream cheese, margarine, milk, sour cream, and garlic. Mix in salt and pepper.
