Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 3-4 whole garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp pepper
Instructions:
Place stock pot with water on the stove.
Add 2 tbsp kosher salt to the water, let boil.
Peel and chop your potatoes, keeping them equal in size.
Peel and roughly chop fresh garlic.
Add the potatoes to the water with the garlic and let boil 15 mins (or until fork tender).
To a second smaller pot add butter, 1 tbsp salt, heavy whipping cream and pepper.
Heat on low on the stove.
Once the potatoes are fork tender drain them (leaving the garlic in) and return to the larger pot.
Slowly add in the heated cream mixture.
Beat with a handheld mixer or potato masher.
Alternate adding cream and mixing until you reach your desired consistency.
*Starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Gold make the best mashed potatoes.
