Method

Preparation

1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Begin by peeling the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1-2 inches) to ensure even cooking.
2
Prepare Garlic
While the potatoes are being prepared, peel the garlic cloves. You can either leave them whole or chop them for a stronger garlic flavor.

Cooking

3
Boil Potatoes
In a large pot, add the potato chunks and enough water to cover them. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4
Cook Garlic
In the last 5 minutes of the potatoes boiling, add the garlic cloves to the pot to soften them.
5
Drain and Return to Pot
Once the potatoes and garlic are cooked, drain them in a colander and return to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to evaporate excess moisture.

Mashing

6
Mash the Potatoes
Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the drained potatoes and softened garlic together until smooth.
7
Add Butter, Milk, and Cheese
Add the unsalted butter, milk, and grated Parmesan cheese to the mashed potatoes. Stir well until everything is combined and the mixture is creamy.

Seasoning

8
Season to Taste
Add black pepper and adjust salt to taste. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings.
9
Serve
Transfer the whipped potatoes to a serving bowl and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious whipped potatoes with garlic and Parmesan!
