Serves: 6 to 8
Ingredients
PreparationIngredients
- 1 head garlic Add to list
- Drizzle of olive oil Add to list
- 2 pounds red or white potatoes, scrubbed and cut into chunks Add to list
- 1/4 cup butter Add to list
- 1/2 cup crème fraîche Add to list

Preparation
Cut the top off the garlic and place it in an ovenproof ramekin. Drizzle it with a little olive oil and bake in a 325° F oven for 1 hour. You may do this in advance if you like.
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Place the potatoes in a pot of boiling, salted water to cover and cook until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain them. Transfer the cooked potatoes to a bowl and squeeze in the garlic. Add the butter, crème fraîche, stock, salt and pepper. Mash the potatoes, skins and all, until fairly smooth. Gently fold in the eggs.
Spoon the batter into a buttered 9- by 13-inch casserole dish. Bake for 30 minutes, until it is golden and slightly puffy.
