Ingredients
2 pounds of peeled and chopped russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1/4 cup of whole milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Optional: 2 cloves garlic peeled
Directions
The steps involved are as follows:
Place a large pot of cubed potato in cold water then add little salt and garlic cloves if desired, then place it on high heat to boil, when they become very tender remove the heat, this takes about 15-20 minutes.
Another Step – Draining and drying
Use a colander to drain potatoes together with the garlic. Put them back into the hot pot and let them dry for few minutes. It is needed to keep their fluffiness but avoid wateriness.
Potato mashing
Mashing can be done either using ricer or potato masher or food mill so that there will be no lumps in it however some like it with lumps.
