1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches each.
2
Prepare Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.

3
Boil Potatoes
In a large pot, add the potato chunks and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4
Cook Garlic
In the last 5 minutes of boiling, add the garlic cloves to the pot to soften them.
5
Drain Potatoes
Once the potatoes and garlic are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.

6
Mash Potatoes and Garlic
Using a potato masher or fork, mash the potatoes and garlic together until smooth.
7
Add Butter and Cream
Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream to the mashed potatoes and mix until creamy and well combined.
8
Season
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well. Optionally, fold in chopped chives for extra flavor.

9
Serve
Transfer the garlic mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and serve warm as a side dish.
