1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into quarters for even cooking.
2
Prepare Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole.

3
Boil Potatoes
In a large pot, add the quartered potatoes and whole garlic cloves. Cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4
Drain and Steam
Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander. Allow them to steam for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
5
Mash the Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream. Use a potato masher or fork to mash until smooth and creamy.
6
Season
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
