• 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and quarter the Yukon Gold potatoes, ensuring that they are uniform in size to promote even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt, then bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, in a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the oil and sauté until fragrant and slightly golden, about 2-3 minutes, taking care not to burn it.

Step 6

Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot.

Step 7

Add the unsalted butter, sautéed garlic with its infused olive oil, and heavy cream to the potatoes.

Step 8

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a handheld electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Stir in the freshly ground black pepper and chopped parsley.

Step 10

Adjust seasoning if necessary to taste, using minimal salt as desired.

Step 11

Serve the mashed potatoes warm, garnished with additional parsley if preferred.
