1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1-2 inches).
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot, add 1 tsp of salt, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
3
Cook the Potatoes
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

4
Prepare the Garlic
While the potatoes are cooking, peel the garlic cloves and finely chop them.
5
Sauté the Garlic
In a small pan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

6
Drain the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
7
Mash the Potatoes
Using a potato masher, begin mashing the potatoes until they are smooth.
8
Add Cream and Garlic
Pour in the heavy cream and the sautéed garlic with butter. Mix until well combined and creamy.
9
Season and Serve
Season with black pepper to taste, adjust salt if needed, and serve warm.
