Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks (about 2-inch pieces).

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover them by 1 inch. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

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 a fork easily pierces through them.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant but not browned. Remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot. Allow the potatoes to sit for a minute to let any excess moisture evaporate.

Step 7

Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth, being careful not to overwork them.

Step 8

Gently stir in the melted butter and garlic, followed by the heavy cream. Mix until the potatoes are creamy and well blended.

Step 9

Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 10

If desired, garnish the mashed potatoes with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy 'My Mashed Taters' as a delicious side dish.
