Instructions
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
2.5 lbs russet potatoes
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes cook, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3 garlic cloves, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 3/4 cup heavy cream
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to release excess steam.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer for a smooth texture.
Stir in the garlic butter, heavy cream, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the cream for your desired consistency. Mix until smooth and creamy.
1/3 cup sour cream, 1 & 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish. Top with a pat of butter, a sprinkle of paprika, and chopped parsley or chives if desired.
