Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the Russet and Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 2-inch pieces).
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Let the garlic infuse the butter for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to let it burn. Stir in the heavy cream and warm it through, then remove from heat.
Once the potatoes are fully cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot.
Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until they are mostly smooth with minimal lumps.
Pour the warm garlic-infused butter and cream mixture over the mashed potatoes. Stir well until fully combined and creamy.
Season the mashed potatoes with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped chives, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Creamy Double Mashed Potatoes!
