Meanwhile, bring water to boil in pot on stove. Cook potatoes in water until fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes (see note).

Cool garlic cloves, then squeeze soft garlic out of outer skin. Garlic should have a pasty texture.

Drain potatoes, saving cooking liquid. Place potatoes back in pot, crumble goat cheese into potatoes, and add roasted garlic paste. Add 1/4 cup of potato cooking liquid to potatoes. Mash together by hand for best texture, or use hand mixer. Mash until ingredients are well combined but slightly lumpy. Taste and add salt and white pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
