1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into even chunks.
2
Cook the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
3
Prepare Garlic
While the potatoes are cooking, peel the garlic cloves and add them to a small saucepan with the heavy cream. Heat over low until the garlic is soft and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the butter and the garlic cream mixture. Use a potato masher or a mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
5
Season
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.
6
Serve
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and enjoy!
