Ingredients:
2 cups potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2 inch dice

Drain potatoes in a colander and place in a bowl (this may also be done in a Kitchen Aid type mixer or by hand with a potato masher) add buttermilk, roasted garlic, the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and white pepper (or black pepper) and beat/whip until smooth. Add butter before serving.

To roast garlic, slice the top off of a head of garlic, make a package around the head of garlic with tin foil, season with salt and pepper and a drop or two of olive oil. Close tin foil package and place in a 350 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool and squeeze out cloves, they should be soft, mash into a paste.
