A delightful twist on classic mashed potatoes, infused with rich garlic flavor and a creamy texture.
Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
Cutting the potatoes into similar sizes ensures even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt.
Adding salt to the water enhances the flavor of the potatoes as they cook.
Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Test the potatoes with a fork; they should be soft and easy to pierce.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
Returning the potatoes to the pot helps evaporate excess moisture.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth.
For an extra smooth texture, use a ricer instead of a masher.
Melt the butter and mix it into the mashed potatoes.
Warm butter blends more easily into the potatoes.
Stir in the cream, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Serve the mashed potatoes warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
Fresh parsley or chives make a lovely garnish.
