Ingredients
- 2 pounds of potatoes (russet or Yukon gold)
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into equally sized chunks. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water to enhance the flavor of the potatoes.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
- While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Pour in the garlic butter mixture and the heavy cream.
- Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, mash the potatoes until creamy and smooth. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve warm with your favorite gravy poured generously over the top, and enjoy every creamy bite!
