Thrice-Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes Recipe

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place them in a large pot of salted water and add the garlic cloves.

Boil the Potatoes

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Mash the First Time

Drain the potatoes and garlic, then return them to the pot. Begin mashing with a potato masher until smooth.

Add Butter and Cream

Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream to the mashed potatoes. Continue mashing until fully incorporated and creamy.

Season and Mash Again

Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mash the potatoes again until they reach your desired consistency.

Final Mash and Garnish

For the final mash, you can use a ricer for an ultra-smooth texture. Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
