Ingredients
- 3 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3/4 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
- For serving: chopped chives and/or parsley optional, to taste
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes (or leave some/all of them unpeeled if you prefer, just make sure to scrub them well) and cut them into thirds. Add them to a salted pot of water and boil until a sharp knife easily pierces them.
- While the potatoes are boiling, add the cream, butter, garlic, and salt & pepper to a small saucepan over low heat. Let it slowly warm through. The garlic slightly cooks, infusing the cream so the potatoes are more evenly flavored.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and leave them in the pot. Slowly pour in the cream mixture and mash the potatoes using a hand-held potato masher. Mash until the cream has been absorbed and you've got a nice, smooth mash. Don't over-mash or they may end up gluey.
- Serve potatoes with extra butter on top and some chopped chives and/or parsley if desired.
Notes
- Serves 6-8 depending on portion size.
- This mashed potato recipe is also on page 235 of the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials hardcover cookbook.
