Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional)
Instructions
Peel and rinse the potatoes. Cut them into evenly-sized chunks (about 2 inches wide) to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks and whole garlic cloves in a large pot. Cover with cold salted water, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and warm gently. Do not boil. Set aside.
Drain the potatoes and garlic cloves thoroughly in a colander. Return them to the pot and allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.
Using a potato masher, ricer, or electric hand mixer, mash the potatoes and garlic until smooth and lump-free.
Gradually mix in the melted butter and cream mixture, followed by the sour cream. Stir until the potatoes are creamy and well-combined.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve immediately in a large serving bowl and garnish with optional chopped chives for a fresh and colorful touch.
