Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 6 whole Garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Creme fraiche
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the potatoes. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, roast the garlic. Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 15 minutes, or until soft and fragrant.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to let any excess moisture evaporate.
Add the roasted garlic, unsalted butter, heavy cream, creme fraiche, and salt to the pot with the potatoes.
Use a potato masher or a handheld mixer to mash the potatoes until creamy and smooth, being careful not to overmix.
Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped chives.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful New Mashed Potatoes!
