Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 cups Water
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, roughly 2-inch pieces.
Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves with the side of a knife.
Place the potato chunks and garlic cloves in a large pot and add just enough water to cover the potatoes. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and garlic thoroughly in a colander, then return them to the warm pot to help evaporate any remaining moisture.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm. Do not boil.
Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes and garlic in the pot until smooth. For a chunkier texture, mash less vigorously.
Gradually add the warm butter and cream mixture to the potatoes, stirring gently until incorporated and creamy.
Season the mashed potatoes with black pepper and additional salt to taste.
Chop the fresh parsley finely, and stir it into the mashed potatoes just before serving, reserving a pinch for garnish.
Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of parsley, and enjoy your Mashed Potatoes Ol'!
