   Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a teaspoon of salt.

   Cook the Potatoes

   Bring the pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

   Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot. Add the remaining half cup of butter, the heavy cream, and the sautéed garlic (including the butter). Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
