Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced Ideal for creamy texture
  • 4 cloves of garlic, peeled Fresh garlic for flavor
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup heavy cream For creaminess
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese Freshly grated is preferred
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Fresh parsley Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, add the diced Yukon Gold potatoes and whole garlic cloves. Cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  2. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and garlic thoroughly in a colander. Return them to the pot and use a potato masher or ricer to mash them until smooth.
  3. Stir in the butter, sour cream, and heavy cream. Mix well until all ingredients are well combined, creating a creamy, dreamy texture.
  4. Fold in the grated parmesan cheese, ensuring it melts into the warm potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Give them a final stir and taste! If you like it cheesier, feel free to add more parmesan.
  6. Transfer your Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes to a serving bowl. Add a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color!

Notes

For best results, use Yukon Gold potatoes for creaminess. Consider roasting garlic beforehand for deeper flavor. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
