Number Of Ingredients 11

6 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 pounds small red potatoes
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 to 1/3 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup (2 ounces) Stilton cheese
6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, divided
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°. Cut stem ends off unpeeled garlic cloves. Place cloves on a piece of foil. Drizzle with oil; wrap in foil. Bake 35 minutes or until cloves are soft.
Meanwhile, place potatoes in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, 15-20 minutes or until tender.
Unwrap garlic cloves; cool 10 minutes. Squeeze garlic from skins. Mash with a fork.
Drain potatoes; return to pan. Coarsely mash potatoes, gradually adding butter, cream cheese, garlic and enough milk to reach desired consistency. Stir in Stilton cheese, bacon, 2 tablespoons parsley, pepper and salt. Sprinkle with remaining parsley.
Yield: 8 servings.
