Ingredients

  1. 3 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
  2. 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  3. 16 fluid ounces (2 cups) half-and-half
  4. 6 cloves garlic, crushed
  5. 6 ounces grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice potatoes, making sure all are relatively the same size. Place in a large saucepan, add the salt, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce heat to maintain a rolling boil. Cook until potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork.
  2. Heat the half-and-half and the garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain off the water. Mash and add the garlic-cream mixture and Parmesan; stir to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes so that mixture thickens and then serve.

Stephanie Taylor
Whoever said they were dry didn’t cook it right. Excellent and creamy
Debbie Scott
Turned out perfect. Was a hit with the tenderloin at large family gathering. Used heavy cream instead of half and half.
Ashlee Cohen
Not good at all….. I had to add tons of seasoning and more liquid to make these edible. The Parmesan and garlic are great, but the potatoes were so dry and bland
David Thomas
Was a bit disappointed with this recipe- made exactly as outlined but the crushed garlic cloves were too overpowering. Some of my guests got mouthful of garlic. I’d recommend mincing the garlic next time.
Charles Harris
Wonderfully balanced flavors. A Thanksgiving hit!
Jacob Cameron
So delicious! Made these mashed potatoes for a work potluck, very easy and fast. This is my new favorite mashed potato recipe!
Brian Hunter
I wasn’t sure I would like them, what with the buttermilk and all, but these potatoes taste amazing and different enough to really separate themselves from typical mashed potatoes.
Kimberly Clark
Best mashed potatoes I have ever made. No gravy needed because they have so much flavor.
Brandy Nguyen
Easy great dish we made with lamb burgers they complement it very well, I added a little butter for cream and balance
