Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Place potatoes and 2 tablespoons salt in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water by 2 inches, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat cream, milk, and butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter melts.
  • Drain potatoes, and press through a ricer into a large saucepan. (Alternatively, mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth.) Pour warmed cream mixture over potatoes in a slow, steady stream, and stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, or keep warm in a covered bowl over simmering water for up to 2 hours.

I'm not a big fan of mashed potatoes, but these were actually really good! The roasted garlic added a nice depth of flavor.
