What we do in our development kitchen is this: simply place a whole clove of garlic on a cutting surface, then place the flat side of a chefs knife over the clove and smash with the palm of the hand. The knife helps to distribute the force of the smash so that the garlic's skin pops open, making it easy to peel off. Then, if needed for the dish you're making, just slice off that small root end. Happy cooking! -April D.
You can get a head start by putting a whole head of garlic in a cocktail shaker and give a good hard shake for 15-30 seconds. It gets most of the skin off, and then you just need to peel off any remaining skin.
