Prep Time:  15 mins
Total Time:  1 hr 45 mins

Ingredients:

1 head garlic
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 lb. golden potatoes, peeled and cut into 1" chunks
1 medium head cauliflower (about 2 lbs.) cut into large florets
2/3 cup half-and-half
6 Tbsp. butter

Add cauliflower; heat to boiling again, then reduce heat. Simmer 20 minutes or until cauliflower and potatoes are very tender. Drain well.
  3. Meanwhile, in small microwave-safe bowl, microwave half-and-half and butter on High 30 seconds or until butter has melted; squeeze roasted garlic cloves from skins into mixture.
  4. Mash potatoes and cauliflower with half-and-half mixture and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth. Garnish with chives. Serve immediately.
