Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 3 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 cups Water
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and a pinch of salt, then reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh dill. Set aside.
Drain the boiled potatoes and return them to the pot. Place the pot back on low heat and stir the potatoes gently for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any remaining water.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the heavy cream and milk to the butter and garlic mixture. Heat until warm but not boiling.
Remove the potatoes from the heat and mash them with a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth.
Gradually pour in the warm cream mixture, stirring continuously, until the potatoes reach your desired consistency.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and ground black pepper, then fold in the fresh dill.
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of extra dill if desired.
