Why I Love This Recipe

Potatoes were first domesticated in the Andes Mountains of South America over 7,000 years ago.


Ingredients You'll Need

2 lbs of potatoes, peeled and diced into 2-inch cubes
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup of heavy cream, divided
1/4 cup of butter, softened
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, divided
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Chopped chives for garnish


Directions

Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add a generous pinch of salt, and bring to a boil.


Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes over medium-high heat, or until they are fork-tender.


Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.


In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup heavy cream, minced garlic, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese over low heat, stirring frequently.


Gently warm the mixture until the cheese melts and the flavors infuse, about 3-4 minutes; be sure not to let it boil.


Mash the potatoes in the pot using a potato masher or a ricer for a smooth texture.


Add the butter, warmed cream mixture, and additional 1/4 cup heavy cream to the potatoes.


Mash more if needed, and season with salt and ground black pepper according to your taste.


Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese until just combined.


Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives.


Pairs Well With

Pairs beautifully with a robust red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon; for a non-alcoholic option, try a sparkling apple cider
