1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1-2 inches each. This will help them cook evenly.
2
Prepare Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves. You can crush them slightly with the side of a knife to release more flavor when cooking.

3
Boil Potatoes
In a large pot, add the cut potatoes and enough water to cover them by about an inch. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4
Cook Garlic
In a small saucepan, add the garlic cloves and heavy cream. Heat on low until the garlic is soft and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Do not let the cream boil.
5
Drain Potatoes
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Allow them to sit for a minute to let excess moisture escape.

6
Mash Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the unsalted butter and the garlic-cream mixture. Use a potato masher or a ricer to mash until smooth and creamy.
7
Season to Taste
Add the remaining salt and black pepper. Mix well to combine. Adjust seasoning as desired.

8
Serve
Transfer the Yukon Gold garlic mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Optionally, drizzle with additional melted butter or sprinkle with fresh herbs for garnish.
