1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the potatoes, garlic and 1 tablespoon salt in a large pot with enough water to cover the potatoes.

3. 3

   Drain the potatoes and garlic and process them together through a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade set on top of a bowl.

4. 4

   While the potatoes are still hot, stir in the goat cheese, butter, sour cream, half-and-half, 4 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper until smooth.

5. 5

   Pour the mixture into a 9-by-12-by-2-inch oval baking dish, smoothing the top.
