Greek potatoes mash.
roast 3 heads of garlic drizzled with olive oil,
 and wrapped in aluminum foil
at 400 F for 60 minutes
peel and cook 6 medium red potatoes cut up till soft
drain potatoes, then mash

Add juice of one lemon, mashed garlic cloves and olive oil

Truth is I could barely taste the garlic

Apparently roasting takes away most of the bitterness.
