Garlic Lovers Mashed Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 -3 heads garlic, seperated into cloves (depending on your love of garlic)
60 g butter
1 1/4 kg potatoes, peeled and cut up
salt and pepper
125 ml whipping cream
3 tablespoons snipped fresh chives

Preparation

Bring some water to the boil and drop in the garlic.
Boil for 2 minutes, drain and peel.
Melt half the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat and add the garlic.
Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan often.
Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender-15-20 minutes.
Drain well.
Mash the potatoes, and return them to the pan with the remaining butter, salt and pepper.
Mash the cooked garlic with a fork, and stir in the cream, heat this mixture, then beat it into the potato mix.
Fold through most of the chives-reserving a few for garnish-and serve.
