Perhaps a recipe for Garlic Mashed potatoes would be helpful:

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

2 pounds potatoes (like russet or Yukon gold)
5 small cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:

Peel and cut the potatoes into equal-sized chunks and bring them to a boil in lightly salted water. Peel the garlic and smash them with the side of a chef's knife or the bottom of a small pan.

Melt the butter in a medium hot saute pan and slowly cook the garlic until it starts to turn a light golden color. When it's soft most of the way through, add the heavy cream and milk and turn the heat up so it starts to simmer. (Watch the cream because it'll come to a boil very quickly!)

Adjust the heat so it reduces to about 1- 1 1/3 cups of liquid. Drain the spuds when they're done and then mash them right in the pan with a potato masher. Add the reduced garlic cream, season with salt and pepper to taste and they're ready to serve!

Hint: Make sure the milk and cream reduces or you'll end up with too much liquid.

Serves 4-6

Your post reminded me of this thread from last Sunday: What is for Sunday Dinner? I just really enjoyed this thread.
