Cost: $6.61, 1.10 per Serving
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and quartered
- ½ cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
- ½ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons salt divided
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt.
- Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot.
- Add the butter to the hot potatoes and mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth.
- Meanwhile, combine the milk, heavy cream, and minced garlic in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat until heated through. Do not boil.
- Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the potatoes, mashing until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
- Serve warm.
Notes
For extra rich potatoes, you can increase the amount of butter or use all heavy cream instead of a mix of milk and cream.
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
