Ingredients

• 2 medium Potatoes (russet or Yukon gold)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Water or vegetable stock

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small, even-sized cubes for faster cooking.

Step 2

Place the potato cubes in a medium-sized saucepan. Add enough water or vegetable stock to cover them completely. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 3

Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a separate saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves (minced or finely chopped) and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Add the cooked potatoes to the saucepan with the garlic. Mash them gently using a potato masher or fork, leaving some small chunks for texture.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the butter until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 7

Gradually add the heavy cream and milk, stirring continuously to create a smooth and creamy consistency. Thin the sauce further with additional water or stock if needed.

Step 8

Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

Step 9

Let the sauce simmer on low for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Remove from heat and serve warm over pasta, roasted vegetables, or use it as a dipping sauce. Enjoy!
