The Best Mashed Potato Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 ½ lb Yellow Yukon Potatoes
• ½ Cup Whole Milk
• ½ Cup Heavy Cream
• 2 tablespoon Minced Garlic
• ½ Cup Unsalted Butter, cubed
• 4 Oz Neufchâtel Cheese
• 2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 2 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

• 1 Peel the potatoes and add them to a large bowl of Ice water to avoid
  discoloration.
• 2 Cube the potatoes adding them back to the same bowl of water.
• 3 In a large pot, add the potatoes and clean cold water. Bring the pot to a boil
  then reduce the heat to low simmering for about 10 minutes.
• 4 In a small sauce pan over medium high heat, add the minced garlic. Allow it to
  cook until fragrant about 1-2 minutes. Next, add the milk and heavy cream
  bringing it to a boil. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
• 5 Drain the potatoes in a colander then add them back to the pot along with the
  Butter, Neufchâtel Cheese, Salt, and Pepper.
• 6 Using a potato masher, mash and mix the ingredients together until you've
  reached the desired consistency. I prefer to leave mine with some little chunks
  but mainly smooth.
• 7 Slowly pour the cream and garlic mixture in while stirring to combine.
• 8 Cover and serve when ready.
