3
Boil Potatoes
In a large pot, add the quartered potatoes and salt. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4
Add Garlic
In the last 5 minutes of boiling, add the garlic cloves to the pot.
5
Drain and Steam
Once the potatoes and garlic are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them steam for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.

6
Mash Potatoes and Garlic
In the pot, add the drained potatoes and garlic. Use a potato masher to mash them together until smooth.
7
Add Butter and Cream
Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream to the mashed potatoes. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and creamy.
8
Season to Taste
Add black pepper and adjust salt if necessary. Mix well. If using, fold in chopped chives for added flavor.
