Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Russet and Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 2-inch pieces).

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

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

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Let the garlic infuse the butter for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to let it burn. Stir in the heavy cream and warm it through, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are fully cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot.

Step 7

Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until they are mostly smooth with minimal lumps.

Step 8

Pour the warm garlic-infused butter and cream mixture over the mashed potatoes. Stir well until fully combined and creamy.

Step 9

Season the mashed potatoes with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your Creamy Double Mashed Potatoes!
