Description
Rich and Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes made with 6 ingredients. These Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes are exceptionally rich and creamy and are the perfect holiday or weeknight side dish.
Ingredients
-
5 small russet potatoes
-
1 large garlic clove, minced
-
4 tablespoons butter
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
-
Peel and cut your russet potatoes into large chunks. Rinse them to get all the starch off, then put them in a medium sized-pot of cold water to boil. Starting with cold water allows the potatoes to boil more evenly.
-
Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender, 15 – 20 minutes. Drain the water.
-
Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes with minced garlic. Then add in the butter. Continue mashing until the potatoes are smooth and not grainy and separated anymore.
-
Mix in the salt, black pepper, and heavy whipping cream, until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Enjoy!
Notes
Mashed potatoes can last a few days in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.
You can reheat your mashed potatoes on the stove with a few tablespoons of heavy whipping cream or milk.
