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.
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.
