To start, you'll need to roast two heads of garlic. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and slice off the top of each garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle each head with olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and fragrant.
While the garlic is roasting, peel and chop four large potatoes and boil them in salted water until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of butter, and the roasted garlic cloves (removed from the skins) to the pot. Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy.
Finally, stir in 1/2 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with additional chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese before serving.
