Ingredients

• 2 pounds brown potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the brown potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1-2 inches).

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle boil and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot over low heat for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any excess water.

Step 7

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and lump-free.

Step 8

Stir in the sautéed garlic butter and heavy cream, mixing well to combine. Adjust the consistency with additional cream if desired.

Step 9

Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using. Serve warm and enjoy!
