Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

2. 2

   Boil the Potatoes

   Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

3. 3

   Cook the Garlic

   While the potatoes are boiling, peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat and add the chopped garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Do not let the garlic brown.

4. 4

   Drain the Potatoes

   Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot.

5. 5

   Mash the Potatoes

   Add the sautéed garlic (with the butter), remaining butter, and heavy cream to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy, adding more cream if desired.

6. 6

   Season

   Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and serve hot.
