Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into large chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender.

    Prepare Garlic

    While the potatoes are cooking, peel the garlic cloves and set aside. You can roast them if desired for a sweeter flavor.

Mashing

    Drain and Mash

    Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the garlic, butter, milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

    Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
