4 cloves fresh garlic
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese

1/2 cup butter
3/8 cup warmed half-and-half (optional)
1 tsp salt

Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with some of the butter.
Peel and cut the potatoes, place them with the garlic in a large pot, cover with water, and boil for 25 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and garlic, then mash them with cream cheese, sour cream, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and half the chives.
Spread the mixture in the baking dish and dot the top with the remaining butter.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until hot throughout.
