Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3 Lbs Yukon Gold or Yellow Potatoes
- 8 Tbsp Salted Butter
- ⅔ 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.
