Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes
- 6 cloves Roasted garlic cloves
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks, approximately 1-2 inches wide.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
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 and milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Do not let it boil, just warm it through.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until smooth and lump-free.
Add the roasted garlic cloves, butter, warm cream mixture, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Stir gently until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or pepper.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Top of the Line Garlic Mashed Potatoes!
