My variation to garlic mashed potatoes has always been to roast the garlic. cut the top third off the top of a garlic bulb (save the top third for other uses). Use more bulbs than you think is reasonable because roasting it really mellows out the flavor. So for 20 lb of potatoes, even 10 bulbs wouldn't be insane. wrap the bulbs into aluminum foil, but before closing off, drizzle with olive oil, sprinks with salt and pepper, and if you wish some dried herbs like thyme or rosemary. Wrap up tightly. put in a 375 degree oven at an hour. when it is done, let it cool, and remove from aluminum foil. The cloves should be golden brown and mushy. Squeeze or fork bulbs into the potatoes before mashing.
