Ingredients
- red potatoes - 3 lb (peeled and quartered)
- garlic cloves - watch the video to see (peeled)
- salt - watch the video to see (for boiling water)
- unsalted butter - 4.3 oz (120 g)
- whole milk - 1 cup (236 ml)
- heavy cream - 1/2 cup (118 ml)
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Peel and quarter the red potatoes. Place them in cold water, changing the water a few times to remove excess starch.
- Boil Potatoes and Garlic: In a pot, add the quartered potatoes and peeled garlic cloves. Add salt to the water. Bring to a soft boil over medium-high heat and cook until fork-tender, about 25-30 minutes.
- Warm Dairy: While potatoes are cooking, warm up the whole milk, heavy cream, and butter.
- Mash Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and garlic, letting them steam for 3-4 minutes. Use a ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes and garlic. Add the warm dairy mixture and stir with a rubber spatula. Season with salt to taste, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
- Serve: Serve the mashed potatoes warm.
