Heat oven to 450 degrees. Boil potatoes and garlic cloves in plenty of salted water until potatoes are soft. Drain and add salt, butter and sour cream. Hold in a warm place.
While potatoes are boiling, melt butter and sauté shallots and garlic. Add red wine and reduce until almost evaporated. Add beef stock and reduce by half. Add butter and tarragon. Set aside and keep warm.
