Ingredients

  • 3 Lbs Yukon Gold or Yellow Potatoes
  • 8 Tbsp Salted Butter
  • Cup Heavy Cream
  • 4 Garlic Cloved Minced
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into roughly the same size, about 2 inches. Add the potatoes to a large pot and fill it with cold water. Add a tablespoon of salt.
  • Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce it to a simmer. Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • In a small saucepan, add the heavy cream, butter, and minced garlic. Heat for 3-5 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Let them sit for about a minute. This helps the steam escape, giving you a fluffy mashed potato.
  • Add the warmed heavy cream mixture to the potatoes. Use a potato masher to mash them.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, topped with butter and chives, enjoy!

Notes

  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in the microwave for 1-minute intervals. Stirring in between until they are heated through.
  • Add more cream for a completely smooth mashed potato.
