4 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tbsp. salt

Steps
Place the garlic and olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or another oven-safe dish) and cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.
Peel and wash the potatoes. Chop into round quarters.
Fill a large pot with water and place the chopped potatoes in the water.
Bring to a boil and cook for about 17 minutes or until soft.
Drain the water in a colander, then return the potatoes to the pot.
Mix in the baked garlic, sour cream, butter, pepper, salt, cheese, half and half, and chives. Reserve some chives for topping.
Using a potato masher, mash all of the ingredients together until you’ve achieved your desired consistency.
On top, add more butter, olive oil and chives, to taste.
