GARLICKY MASHED POTATOES WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the heads of garlic in half crosswise and drizzle with the oil. Wrap the garlic in foil and roast until creamy, about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves into a small bowl and mash lightly with a fork.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally and lowering the heat if the onions begin to burn, until golden, about 30 minutes.
• Put the potatoes in a medium pot, cover with cold water and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring just to a simmer and simmer the potatoes, uncovered, until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain.
• Peel the potatoes and return them to the pot (if desired, pass them through a ricer or food mill after peeling). Add the onions. Mash the potatoes and onions with the milk and butter using a fork or potato masher. Stir in the roasted garlic and 2 teaspoons salt; season with pepper.
