How to Make New Mashed Potatoes
- Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are boiling, mince the onion and garlic.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly.
- Return the potatoes to the pot and add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter. Mash lightly with a potato masher or fork.
- Stir in the minced onion, garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Using a hand mixer (or continue mashing by hand), blend the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and heavy cream. Add more cream, if needed, to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- For the casserole (optional): Preheat your oven's broiler. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a buttered casserole dish. Top with grated Swiss cheese.
- Broil for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
