How to Make Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes
- Peel and dice 2 lbs russet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces. Ensure even sizes for uniform cooking.
- Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by about 2 inches.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to maintain a gentle boil.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork and fall apart.
- While potatoes cook, heat 1 cup heavy cream and 4-6 cloves minced garlic (or more, to taste!) in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Remove garlic cream from heat and set aside.
- Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly.
- Return potatoes to the saucepan and mash until smooth. Add the garlic cream mixture, 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh chives, if desired.
