Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic 1 stick
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Start by giving your potatoes a good scrub under cold water. If you're in the mood for a more rustic mash with a bit of texture, feel free to leave the skins. Cut the potatoes into even thirds.

  • Fill a large pot with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil. Carefully add your potato pieces to the pot. Let them simmer away until they're tender enough to be easily pierced with a knife (about 15-20 minutes)..

  • Grab a small saucepan and combine the heavy cream, butter, minced garlic, salt, and a generous sprinkle of pepper. Warm this mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally. Your garlic needs to infuse well.
