Ingredients

• 2.5 pounds Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, roughly 2-inch pieces.

Step 2

Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves with the side of a knife.

Step 3

Place the potato chunks and garlic cloves in a large pot and add just enough water to cover the potatoes. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 4

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes and garlic thoroughly in a colander, then return them to the warm pot to help evaporate any remaining moisture.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm. Do not boil.

Step 7

Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes and garlic in the pot until smooth. For a chunkier texture, mash less vigorously.

Step 8

Gradually add the warm butter and cream mixture to the potatoes, stirring gently until incorporated and creamy.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Chop the fresh parsley finely, and stir it into the mashed potatoes just before serving, reserving a pinch for garnish.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of parsley, and enjoy your Mashed Potatoes Ol'!
