Ingredients:

2		Heads garlic
2	lbs	Red potatoes, small
3	tbsp	Chopped parsley
2	tbsp	Butter
		Salt
8	tbsp	Milk or cream
		Additional butter (optional)
		Freshly ground pepper

Procedures:

1	Separate the garlic cloves and remove their papery husks.
2	Slice each clove into halves or, if large, thirds.
3	Peel the potatoes (unless they are newly harvested), quarter them and slice thinly.
4	Put the garlic, potatoes, parsley and butter in a small sauce- pan, add water to cover by 2 inches and lightly salt.
5	Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes and garlic are soft and the water has cooked away, about 25 minutes.
6	Pass the potatoes and garlic through a food mill.
7	Don"t use a food processor or blender as it will give the puree a gooey, unpleasant texture.
8	If you don"t have a food mill, mash the potatoes by hand, then work them through a strainer for a smooth texture or leave it a little rough and irregular.
9	Stir in the milk or cream and additional butter, if desired.
10	Add salt to taste and season with pepper.
