Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cups Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, roughly 2 inches in diameter.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, heat the heavy cream, butter, and minced garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Allow it to warm until the butter is fully melted, then remove from heat and set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to release excess steam.
Mash the potatoes to your desired consistency using a potato masher, ricer, or hand mixer.
Gradually add the warm cream, butter, and garlic mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring gently to combine.
Fold in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated and smooth.
Season the potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the Parmesan mash to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
