Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place them in a large pot of cold, salted water.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Drain the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to release excess steam.

  4. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    In the same pot, add the butter and heavy cream to the drained potatoes. If using garlic, add minced garlic at this step. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm as a side dish.
