Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes Rich and Smooth Dish

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• to taste salt and pepper
• for garnish fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

1. Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Once boiling, add the garlic cloves and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
3. Drain the potatoes and garlic, and return them to the pot over low heat to evaporate any excess moisture for 1-2 minutes.
4. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter together until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.
5. Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes and garlic until smooth.
6. Slowly pour in the warm cream and butter mixture, followed by the sour cream, and continue mashing until everything is well combined and creamy.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the consistency with more cream if desired.
8. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives for a fresh touch.
