Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop Yukon Gold potatoes into even-sized chunks to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water, ensuring the water is about 1 inch above the potatoes.

Step 3

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes cook, heat the heavy cream, milk, and 2 peeled garlic cloves in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm until the mixture is just steaming, then remove from heat and set aside. Discard the garlic cloves once infused.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.

Step 6

Using a hand mixer, potato ricer, or potato masher, begin mashing the potatoes until smooth and lump-free.

Step 7

Gradually mix in the warm cream mixture and unsalted butter. Whip the potatoes until light and fluffy. Adjust the consistency by adding more cream or milk if needed.

Step 8

Season the whipped potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.

Step 9

Transfer the golden whipped potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped chives if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
