Garlic Mashed Potatoes with Garlic Butter

lbs potatoes (Yukon gold, creamer, russet potatoes)

heavy cream (start with less, adjust to your liking)

herbs (chives, green onions,

salt & pepper (to taste)

Tablespoons butter

vegetable oil

garlic (finely minced)

Prep potatoes

Prep and boil potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes then cut them into 1 inch pieces. Cover with water and boil until soft and fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain very well and place back into the hot pot to remove excess water. Mash the potatoes using a potato ricer, potato masher, or other tool. See Note 2.

Make garlic butter and cream

Make garlic butter and cream: Heat a sauce pan over medium low heat and add the garlic, butter, and vegetable oil. Saute until garlic is soft and fragrant, about 1½ to 2 minutes. Reserve a tablespoon of garlic butter for later. Add the heavy cream to the sauce pan and heat until cream is warm and infused with garlic flavor. Do not boil the cream.

Mash potatoes

Add remaining ingredients: Add the garlic cream to the potatoes and mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Note: Start with ⅔ of the amount of cream and add more if you want a smoother consistency. See Note 3 for more details.

Serve

Serve: Spoon mashed potatoes into a serving bowl and drizzle with the reserved garlic butter. Garnish with herbs and serve immediately. Enjoy!

These mashed potatoes were so creamy. I served it as a side dish alongside roasted chicken, and it was a hit with my guests!

What is there not to love! Rich in flavor, and the garlic with the butter are just amazing. Truly a hit with my family, who has asked me to make your garlic mashed potatoes with every meal. Thank you.

This was out of this world good!  The garlic butter seriously put it over the top!

We are a garlic-loving family and these mashed potatoes did not disappoint! Definitely making potatoes this was more often now - thanks!

This is one of my kid's favorite dishes. It is super easy to make and delicious! 
Perfect paired with steak!

I loved them, I wanted them a little softer so I added more cream and my family loved them. I served them with a steak and it was perfect. The garlic really made a difference.

I always say no such thing as too much garlic! These were so good! We ended up using a mix of fresh and roasted garlic and it gave the mashed potatoes the most delicious flavor.

This is such a classic side dish! A must-make for Easter dinner. :) My entire family loves this.

Wow! These were some of the best mashed potatoes I have ever had! Thanks for another great recipe.

These mashed potatoes are so creamy and rich. They are perfect with a Sunday roast and a real treat for my family!

These potatoes are a hit every time I make them. Thanks for a great recipe!

We literally can not get enough garlic in our recipes here, so these garlic masked potatoes with garlic butter were the perfect side to our holiday dinner - such a great recipe!

Such a great mashed potato recipe! The garlic flavor was just perfect, and they were nice and creamy.

A classic for sure. The heavy cream makes these potatoes so good and rich! The garlic touch was nice for a little change ;)

Even though we love garlic, I've never added it to mashed potatoes before. Goodness how good. The garlic butter really makes these mashed potatoes special!

Easy and super tasty. Burst of garlic flavors. Love the combination of Butter and garlic. Perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

I am getting a start on my holiday menu, and am very pleased to have found your blog, as I have worked out all of my side dishes! These delicious potatoes and your mac and cheese will be featuring on our table this year :) And judging from my family's response to dinner over the weekend, I suspect we will be enjoying them many times otherwise too. The cream really makes these potatoes so delicious, and we all loved the garlic butter!

This is the recipe I chose for Thanksgiving and it was so good! I'm making double for Christmas because we'll have relatives over this year. Very good and garlicky. Amazing!

This was a perfect side dish for our Nut loaf, it was packed with flavour and super garlicky, which we really enjoyed!

I found your recipe just in time for Thanksgiving dinner and everyone loved these mashed potatoes so much, I'll be making them again at Christmas. My family is already requesting them!
