Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut off the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves, drizzle with a little olive oil, and wrap it in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the garlic is golden and soft. Set aside to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, peel and chop the potatoes into equal-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Lower the heat and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot (off the heat) to remove excess moisture.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a small bowl and mash them into a paste using a fork.
In a small saucepan, heat the butter, heavy cream, and milk over low heat until warm but not boiling.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth. Gradually mix in the warm butter-cream mixture.
Add the roasted garlic paste, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Adjust seasoning to taste and garnish with freshly chopped chives, if desired.
Serve the garlic mashed potatoes warm as a side dish.
