Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves. Drizzle each bulb with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap them in aluminum foil, and place them on a small baking sheet.
Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
While the garlic roasts, scrub the potatoes clean and dice them into 1-inch cubes. Place the diced potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the pot of potatoes to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them into a paste.
To the bowl with the roasted garlic, add mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined to make the dressing.
Chop the fresh parsley and chives finely and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the cooled potatoes with the roasted garlic dressing until evenly coated.
Add the chopped parsley and chives to the potato salad and toss gently to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
