Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap it in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 30 minutes or until the cloves are soft and golden.
While the garlic is roasting, peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to steam off excess moisture.
Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the soft cloves out of the bulb and add them to the potatoes.
Add the butter, heavy cream, wasabi paste, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.
Use a potato masher or electric mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning and wasabi paste to taste if necessary.
Serve the Garlic Wasabi Mashed Potatoes warm as a flavorful side dish.
