Steps:

• 1 Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). 2 Prick unpeeled potatoes in several places and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until very tender, from 1 to 1¼ hours. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Then peel or scoop flesh out of skins and cut into chunks. 3 Pulse potatoes in a food processor along with butter, garlic, salt and pinches of paprika and cayenne until as smooth as you like. Or put potatoes through a food mill or mash; then mix in butter, garlic, salt and seasonings. Stir in basil. Taste and add more butter, salt or basil if needed. If not being served right away, potatoes can be left at room temperature for a couple of hours; or refrigerate them, covered, for up to 2 days. Warm in the microwave or an oven dish.

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes; drain.

• Transfer to large bowl and add cream,basil-oil mixture,the remaining 1 tsp of salt,and pepper.
• Mix well.
• Serve Suggested wines:Cabernet Sauvignion or Pinot Noir.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water for 10 mins or until tender, how long they take will depend on the size of the cubes. Drain very well and leave to steam dry for a couple of minutes.
• Tip the potatoes back into the pan and mash with 1 tbsp butter using a fork or masher, then season well. Serve with the extra butter and more seasoning on top.

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes, but do not peel them. Cook in water to cover, with garlic, until tender, about 10 minutes. Mash potatoes, still unpeeled, in a food mill or with a mashing tool; pick out and discard large pieces of skin. Stir in the basil and buttermilk; season with salt and pepper, and serve. (Potatoes can be made in advance and refrigerated. Before serving, put potatoes in glass dish, cover with plastic wrap and reheat in microwave oven for 4 to 6 minutes on high setting. Stir once or twice while reheating. If potatoes become too dry, stir in a little buttermilk.)

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them into 3/4-inch cubes. Place the pieces in saucepan and cover with water. Add the garlic and salt.
• Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Do not overcook.
• Drain. Discard garlic. Put the potatoes through a food mill or ricer, or mash them well with a potato masher.
• Add the olive oil, and beat to blend. Add the warm milk, basil and pepper. Blend well. Serve piping hot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Turn the garlic head on its side and carefully cut off the very top end to expose the cloves. (Discard the top.) Place the head of garlic on a sheet of foil, cut side up, and drizzle with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap tightly and place on a sheet pan. Wrap each sweet potato individually in foil and place on the pan alongside the garlic.
• Bake until the sweet potatoes are tender and the garlic is soft, fragrant and slightly caramelized, about 1 hour. Set aside, still wrapped, to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, heat the cream and butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals, checking after each, until the butter is melted, about 1 minute. (Alternatively, you can heat the cream and butter in a small saucepan over medium until the butter is melted.)
• Unwrap the sweet potatoes and peel them, discarding the skin and adding the flesh to a large bowl. Squeeze the garlic head, cut side down, into the bowl to release the roasted cloves. Pour in the hot cream and butter. Using a whisk or fork, break up the potatoes and garlic and vigorously stir until smooth and fluffy, at least 30 seconds. Taste for seasoning, adjusting with salt and pepper as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm. (To make ahead, transfer to a buttered casserole dish or cake pan, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, until ready to eat. Bake in a 350-degree oven or microwave until heated through, about 15 minutes. On Thanksgiving, you should reheat this when the turkey is out of the oven and resting.)

Steps:

• Cut the top off unpeeled garlic head. Drizzle with olive oil, place in baking pan & bake & 250 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes.
• Bake the potatoes at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until tender.
• Cut potatoes in half, scoop into saucepan and mash.
• Squeeze roasted garlic into the mashed potatoes.
• Add butter, mash while adding cream a little at a time. Add salt & pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes and garlic in salted water until tender. Drain, return to the pan and steam dry for 1 min, then mash with the milk, oil and basil. Season and serve, scattered with a few basil leaves.
