Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.3333333333333333 cup Sour cream
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
Instructions
Peel and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches each.
In a large pot, add the potato chunks and fill with enough cold water to cover them. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic cloves (peeled and smashed) and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove the garlic cloves and set the butter aside.
In another small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until warmed through but not boiling. Set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and return them to the hot pot. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Using a potato ricer or a masher, mash the potatoes until smooth and lump-free.
Gently fold in the melted garlic-infused butter, warmed heavy cream, and sour cream into the mashed potatoes. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the potatoes are creamy.
Season with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish, and garnish with chopped fresh chives.
Serve immediately and enjoy these luxurious Supreme Mashed Potatoes!
