- 2 lbs. russet potatoes cut into medium dice
- 1/2 lb. unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 t. kosher salt
- 1/2 t. white pepper
- 4 cloves garlic minced
Boil potatoes in salted water for about 12 to 15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and place potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Add butter to a medium-sized saucepan set over medium heat and melt. Add minced garlic and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add heavy cream, 1 t. kosher salt, and 1/2 t. white pepper to saucepan and bring to a boil. When mixture starts to boil, reduce to a simmer for 3 minutes and then remove from heat.
While potatoes are still hot, mash potatoes until most lumps are gone.
Then, using a hand mixer on low speed, slowly add butter and cream mixture until desired smoothness and taste is achieved.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, as needed.
