Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and chop them into evenly sized chunks, about 2 inches each, for even cooking.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole.

Step 3

Place the chopped potatoes and garlic cloves into a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by about 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 4

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 5

While the potatoes cook, heat the heavy cream slightly on the stove or in the microwave until warm. This step prevents the potatoes from cooling down when the cream is added.

Step 6

Drain the cooked potatoes and garlic in a colander, shaking out excess water, and return them to the pot.

Step 7

Add the unsalted butter to the hot potatoes and mash them using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and no lumps remain.

Step 8

Pour in the warmed heavy cream and sour cream. Stir until the mixture is creamy and well combined.

Step 9

Season the mashed potatoes with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper (or to taste). Mix thoroughly.

Step 10

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Cheesecake Factory-style mashed potatoes!
