GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Ingredients

• ¼ cup (2 oz.) unsalted butter
• 8 garlic cloves, chopped (about ⅓ cup)
• 1¼ cups half-and-half
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-in. pieces
• 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-in. pieces
• 1 cup sour cream
• ¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Step 1

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the half-and-half and salt and gently simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 2

Place the Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot with salted water to cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Increase heat to high; add the russet potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until all the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

Step 3

Add the half-and-half mixture and sour cream to the potatoes; mash to the desired consistency. Top with the parsley and pepper.
