- 2 lb Med-size baking potatoes
- 2 Heads garlic - broken up but not peeled
- 4 oz Unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 c Milk Salt to taste Nutmeg to taste

PEEL AND CUT POTATOES into quarters. Place in cold water in a medium-size pan bring to a boil and cook 15-to-20 minutes until tender. Meanwhile plunge the garlic into boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Drain then peel when cool enough to handle. Place in a small saute pan with half the butter over low heat for 10 minutes. Be very careful not to let the garlic burn. Add 1 cup of milk bring to the boil and simmer 2 minutes. Puree in a blender or food mill or press through a sieve. Drain the potatoes well then put through a potato ricer or food mill or use a potato masher. (Do not use a food processor as it will make the potatoes gummy.)
