These creamy garlic red mashed potatoes are so good you can serve them plain or topped with homemade gravy! Either way, they are filled with lots of butter, minced garlic, and heavy cream so they are rich and full of amazing flavor!
Start by cutting each potato into 8 pieces. Rinse these really well to get any dirt and starch off then put them into a large pot with cold water.
Boil potatoes on medium-high heat until fork tender, 20 - 30 minutes.
Drain the water, then return the potatoes to the heat. Add in the minced garlic and mash until there aren’t any big chunks.
Turn the heat off, then add in the butter, and mash until the butter is incorporated. Lastly, add in the salt, freshly ground black pepper, and heavy cream. Continue to mash and mix until everything is combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Enjoy!
Notes
All nutrition information is a rough estimate and this recipe card may contain affiliate links. Reheat leftover mashed potatoes on the stove with a tiny splash of heavy cream. Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Mash the potatoes with butter before adding the other ingredients so they turn out creamier.
