Instructions
Preheat oven to 500 F.
Trim about 1/4” off of the top of the head of garlic to expose the cloves.
Place garlic and potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Wrap garlic in aluminum foil.
Roast for 20 minutes or until a toothpick easily goes through a potato. Transfer potatoes to a cooling rack.
Return the garlic to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes. Remove garlic from the oven and reduce oven temperature to 400 F.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
Use your hands to mix in the butter, continuing to mix until the butter is in pea-sized pieces.
Mix in the blue cheese until just combined.
Smash 6 of the garlic cloves and mix them into the dough (save any remaining cloves for other recipes).
In a small bowl, whisk together beer, milk, and eggs.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture comes together as a sticky dough.
Cut the fingerling potatoes in half and fold them into the batter.
Drop ½ cup mounds of batter onto parchment- or silicone mat-lined baking sheets spaced two inches apart from each other.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over unbaked scones.
Bake for 25 minutes or until scones are golden brown. Serve within two days.
