Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot of cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
While the potatoes cook, peel the garlic cloves and crush them slightly with the flat side of a knife. Add the garlic cloves to the pot with the potatoes.
Boil the potatoes and garlic for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander, then return them to the pot to remove excess moisture. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes on low heat.
Mash the potatoes and garlic using a potato masher, ricer, or hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and whole milk, and warm the mixture until it’s heated through (do not boil).
Gradually add the warm butter and cream mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring gently until fully combined and smooth.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and thyme, and fold them into the mashed potatoes.
Season the mash with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Serve the Garlic Herb Mash immediately, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
