Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into equal-sized chunks for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Garlic

    Peel and smash the garlic cloves slightly with the flat side of a knife. This will release their flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the potato chunks and enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

  2. 4

    Boil the Garlic

    In the last 5 minutes of cooking the potatoes, add the smashed garlic cloves to the pot. This will infuse the potatoes with garlic flavor.

  3. 5

    Drain and Mash

    Once the potatoes and garlic are cooked, drain them in a colander. Return them to the pot and add butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese.

  4. 6

    Mash the Mixture

    Using a potato masher or fork, mash the potatoes and garlic together until smooth and creamy.

Seasoning

  1. 7

    Season the Mashed Potatoes

    Add salt, black pepper, and chopped chives to the mashed potatoes. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
