Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
- 10 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes (peeled, washed and cut into 2-inch cubes)
- 2 Chopped Onions
- 6 cloves Whole Garlic
- 2 tbsp Kosher Salt
- 1 stick Butter
- 1 stick Soft Butter
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- 4 oz Softened Cream Cheese
- 1 tbsp Salt
- ½ tbsp Black Pepper (some would use white pepper but I prefer crushed black pepper here)
Instructions
- Place potatoes in large pot and cover with cold water. Add Onions, Whole Garlic, Salt and Butter. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover and let rest for 10 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
- Reserve ½ cup liquid then drain potatoes and return them to the warm pot.
- Mash potatoes with a potato masher or whip with a beater (not too much, you don't want gluey potatoes) or preferably put through a ricer for light and fluffy potatoes.
- Add Soft Butter, Heavy Cream, Softened Cream Cheese, Salt and Black Pepper. Blend together and taste for seasoning (use a little reserved liquid as needed if potatoes are too dry).
