Ingredients

• 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 6 whole Garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into uniform chunks, roughly 2 inches in size. Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water.

Step 2

Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the water. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, peel the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over low heat. Add the garlic cloves and cook gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is soft and lightly golden but not browned. Set aside.

Step 4

In another small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and milk. Warm over low heat until just heated through, but do not boil.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are done, drain them thoroughly and return them to the hot pot. Let them sit for a minute or two to allow excess moisture to evaporate.

Step 6

Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth. Alternatively, use a hand mixer for a creamier texture.

Step 7

Add the cooked garlic (including the butter it was cooked in), the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and the warmed cream and milk mixture to the mashed potatoes. Stir gently to combine.

Step 8

Season with the remaining salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and, if desired, garnish with freshly chopped chives. Serve warm.
