Preparation

Step 1

1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender. Drain water and place pan in a 250 degree oven for 10 minutes to dry out the potatoes.

2. While potatoes are cooking, place butter in a small sauce pan on medium low heat. Add garlic and cook for 5 minutes. If garlic starts to turn brown stop cooking. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Place cooked potatoes in a large bowl. Mash the potatoes. Do not over-mash; it’s okay if there are some chunks. Do not place in a mixer.

4. Add the butter and mash some more. Place the cream in a glass and heat it in the microwave for 45 seconds. Pour the cream on the potatoes and stir to incorporate.
