Garlic Yukon Mash Potato Recipe

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks, approximately 1-2 inches.

Prepare the Garlic

Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Boil Potatoes

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Boil Garlic

In the last 5 minutes of boiling the potatoes, add the garlic cloves to the pot to soften them.

Drain and Mash

Once the potatoes and garlic are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot. Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes and garlic together until smooth.

Add Butter and Cream

Incorporate the unsalted butter and heavy cream into the mashed potatoes, mixing until creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Garnish

Finely chop the chives and sprinkle them over the mashed potatoes for garnish before serving.
