Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 lbs Russet potatoes peeled and cut into quarters
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic 
  • 1 cup heavy cream warmed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Add the potatoes and cook for 20 minutes or until tender.
  3. Drain the potatoes and add them back to the pot.
  4. In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 45 seconds, stirring continuously.
  5. Add the melted garlic butter and cream to the pot of potatoes.
  6. Mash the potatoes until they're smooth and creamy. Stir in the salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.

Notes

  • Cut your potatoes into similar sized pieces so they cook evenly.
  • The easiest way to mash potatoes is with a potato masher. If you want super smooth potatoes, you can also try using a potato ricer. Another alternative is you can beat your potatoes with a hand mixer.
  • Be sure not to mash your potatoes in the food processor. If you try it that way, you’ll end up with gluey potatoes that aren’t pleasant to eat.
