How to Make Best Damn Mashed Potatoes

1. Peel and quarter 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes.
2. Place potatoes in a large stockpot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3. While potatoes are cooking, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a large bowl.
4. Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly.
5. Use a potato ricer or a sturdy masher to thoroughly mash the potatoes directly into the bowl with the melted butter.
6. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon seasoned salt.
7. Add 1-2 cloves minced garlic (optional) and additional salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
8. For extra creamy texture and enhanced flavor, you can transfer the mashed potatoes to a greased baking dish, and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 20 minutes.
