Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds brown potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the brown potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1-2 inches).
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle boil and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot over low heat for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any excess water.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and lump-free.
Stir in the sautéed garlic butter and heavy cream, mixing well to combine. Adjust the consistency with additional cream if desired.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using. Serve warm and enjoy!
