Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and diced, all the same size
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1 tablespoon Garlic puree
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and fill until they are covered in water. Stir in the salt.
- Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a lower heat until the potatoes are just simmering, a low rolling boil. Keeping it at this lower boil will help prevent them from boiling over.
- Cook until the potatoes fall apart when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain off the water in a colander. Let them sit there draining.
- Heat the half-and-half, the butter and the garlic puree in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering slightly, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- Mash the potatoes using a masher or a potato ricer until smooth.
- Mix in the hot garlic mixture until combined through.
- Serve while hot.

Notes
