Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.25 cups Whole milk
• 2 whole Garlic cloves (optional)
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Freshly cracked black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, roughly 2 inches wide.

Step 2

Rinse the potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch.

Step 3

Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the potatoes and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 4

Once boiling, carefully add the potatoes to the pot, along with the optional whole garlic cloves for added flavor.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 6

While the potatoes are cooking, warm the heavy cream and milk together in a small saucepan over low heat. Do not let it boil.

Step 7

Drain the cooked potatoes and garlic cloves (if used) and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1 minute to evaporate any excess moisture.

Step 8

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer, depending on your desired texture.

Step 9

Add the unsalted butter to the mashed potatoes and stir until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 10

Gradually add the warm cream and milk mixture, stirring after each addition, until the potatoes reach your desired consistency.

Step 11

Season the mashed potatoes with freshly cracked black pepper and additional salt to taste.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, comforting goodness of Mark S Mashed Potatoes.
