Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 stalks Celery
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 2-inch chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

Step 2

Add a pinch of salt to the pot and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, finely dice the celery and yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the celery and onion, sautéing for 5-7 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the hot pot to allow excess moisture to evaporate.

Step 6

Add the butter and heavy cream to the pot with the potatoes. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Gently fold in the sautéed celery, onion, and garlic mixture. Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 8

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
