Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks, about 2 inches in size, to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the potatoes to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, roughly 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
Once the potatoes are done cooking, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit in the pot for 1-2 minutes over low heat to let any excess moisture evaporate.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher, ricer, or stand mixer until smooth.
Gradually stir in the melted garlic butter and heavy cream into the mashed potatoes. Mix well until the potatoes are creamy and fluffy. Adjust with extra cream or butter if needed for desired consistency.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy these bangin mashed potatoes with your favorite main dishes!
