This easy-to-make side dish is perfect to enjoyed alongside any meal.<\/p>
<\/span>Ingredients<\/span><\/h3>- <\/span>
4 large russet potatoes<\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
1 cup heavy cream<\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
1\/2 cup whole milk<\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter<\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
2 cloves garlic, minced<\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
Salt and pepper<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/span>Directions<\/span><\/h3>- Start by peeling the russet potatoes and cutting them into chunks. Aim for uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.<\/li>
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and fill them with cold water until the potatoes are fully submerged. Add a pinch of salt to the water, which helps to season the potatoes as they cook. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let the potatoes cook until they become so soft, about 15-20 minutes.<\/li>
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander to remove all the water. Let the potatoes sit in the colander for a minute.<\/li>
- Return the drained potatoes to the pot or transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the butter, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until they turn so smooth and creamy.<\/li>
- Gradually pour in the heavy cream and whole milk, continuing to mash the potatoes until you reach your desired consistency. Some people prefer their mashed potatoes thicker, while others like them a bit more fluid. And add some salt and pepper.<\/li>
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a baking dish. Sprinkle your favorite cheese generously over the top of the mashed potatoes. Cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend of cheeses work well for this step. Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C) and bake for 10 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and turned a golden brown color. and Enjoy it alone or with your main dish.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>

<\/span>Notes<\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t- You can roast the garlic cloves before mashing them into the potatoes for a more caramelized and sweet taste.<\/li>
- Russet potatoes are ideal for this recipe because they have a high starch content, and this is what the guy told me, But if you don't have this type of potatoes, you can use any.<\/li>
- You can Warm the butter, cream, and milk before adding them to the potatoes. This will keep the potatoes hot.<\/li>
- You can use your favorite cheese for baking.<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>
