4. Cook Garlic: In a small skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic is soft and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.

5. Mash the Potatoes: Drain the boiled potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and cream mixture, sautéed garlic, salt, and black pepper. Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until smooth.

6. Incorporate Flavors: Stir in the Mexican crema, mashed roasted garlic, truffle oil, and half of the chopped chives. Mix until everything is integrated and the potatoes are creamy and smooth.

7. Final Touch: Gently fold in the grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste if necessary.

8. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with the remaining chives. Serve immediately as a luxurious and comforting side dish for dinner.
