Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 pound Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 4 stalks Scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the Yukon Gold and Russet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
Place the potato cubes into a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Set aside.
Step 5
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy cream and milk together until just heated through. Do not let it boil.
Step 6
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to release excess steam.
Step 7
Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth.
Step 8
Stir in the butter, warmed milk and cream mixture, cooked garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Step 9
Fold in the thinly sliced scallions, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 11
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with the reserved scallions. Serve warm and enjoy!
