Put the still warm mashed potato in a bowl along with the yeast, sugar, flour oil, salt and milk. You can make it in a machine or do it by hand. I made it in the Kitchen Aid and then did some kneading by hand.
Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes with the machine until it is a smooth dough. If you knead by hand you will probably need a little longer.
If it's too sticky keep kneading a little longer and add a little extra flour if necessary. Then transfer the dough to a clean bowl rubbed with oil and cover with a clean tea towel.
Let the dough rise for an hour or until doubled in volume.
Then divide the dough into four pieces. Then make balls of these and place them on a board dusted with flour, cover and let rise for another 20 minutes.
Take a large frying pan and heat a generous layer of oil to 180˚C (350˚F)
Flatten each ball and stretch it a bit. Then fry golden brown in the oil. Once out of the oil, brush with the sliced garlic cloves, spread with the cream and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
