Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Makes: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 garlic clove grated
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 8 oz sour cream, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions, dark green parts
- 1/4 cup minced fresh chives
- kosher salt & freshly cracked pepper
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes. Peel the potatoes (or don't!) and cut them into chunks. Place them in a 4 qt pot and cover them with cold water. Season the water liberally with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and boil the potatoes until they’re very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Warm the cream and butter. While the potatoes cook, warm the heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the grated garlic and dried minced onion and let the flavors infuse for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Mash the potatoes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot they were cooked in. Lightly mash the potatoes, then add the warmed cream mixture. Continue to mash the potatoes and add the sour cream. Mash to your desired consistency, then fold in the green onion and chives. Season the mashed potatoes to taste with salt and pepper and serve right away.
