Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Garlic

    While the potatoes are cooking, peel and crush the garlic cloves.

  4. 4

    Make the Cream Mixture

    In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, butter, and crushed garlic. Heat over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.

  5. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth.

  6. 6

    Incorporate the Cream Mixture

    Gradually add the warm cream mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring continuously until well combined.

  7. 7

    Add the Cheese

    Fold in the grated Gruyère cheese until melted and the mixture is creamy and stretchy.

  8. 8

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately while hot.
