Makes: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. peeled Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into quarters (or relatively evenly sized chunks)
- 1 Tbsp + ½ tsp salt, divided
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter,
- 2 Tbsp minced garlic (from 5-6 cloves)
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp pepper
- ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
- Fresh chives or scallions, for garnish
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover potatoes. Add 1 Tbsp salt and bring water to a boil.
- Lower heat to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- When potatoes are almost done boiling, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until aromatic and just starting to brown.
- Turn heat to low and add milk and cream to the saucepan. Heat until hot, but not boiling.
- Drain potatoes well using a strainer and return to pot. Mash with a potato masher until desired consistency is reached. Take care not to over-mash (I like to leave some chunks, but you can also mash until completely smooth).
- Add hot garlic/milk/cream mixture, garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper to potatoes and stir to combine. Fold in parmesan cheese.
- Serve mashed potatoes topped with chopped chives or scallions and more butter, if desired.
