Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks.

Prepare the Potatoes

Place the potato chunks in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Cook the Potatoes

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the whole garlic cloves and cook gently until fragrant and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Prepare the Garlic Butter

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the garlic butter (including the garlic cloves) and heavy cream. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Mash the Potatoes

Finely chop the chives and fold them into the potato mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Season the Purée

Transfer the pommes purée to a serving dish and garnish with additional chives if desired. Enjoy!
