1
Peeling and Chopping
Peel the Russet potatoes and chop them into evenly sized cubes (about 1 inch).
2
Boiling the Potatoes
Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.

3
Mincing Garlic
While the potatoes are boiling, peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
4
Cooking Garlic in Butter
In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.

5
Draining Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
6
Mashing Potatoes
Using a potato masher or fork, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency.
7
Combining Ingredients
Stir in the sautéed garlic and butter mixture. Add 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 tsp of black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
8
Final Seasoning
Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
