Ingredients

3 lbs yukon gold potatoes, quartered

4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed

1 stick (8 tbsp) unsalted butter

3-4 tbsp heavy cream

½ cup sour cream

1 tbsp + 1 ½ tsp salt, divided

1 tsp pepper

Instructions

1 To a large pot, add potatoes, garlic, and 1 tbsp salt; then cover with cold water, making sure there's about an inch of water above
the top of the potatoes. Heat to high, and bring to a boil. Boil for 12-15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender. Remove from
heat. Drain water from pot. Put potatoes and garlic back in the pot.

2 Add butter to the potatoes, and use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to your desired texture. Add sour cream, 3 tbsp heavy
cream, 1 ½ tsp salt, and pepper. Stir until potatoes are creamy. If the potatoes seem a little thick, add another tablespoon of heavy
cream, and stir again. Serve!

Tips

 Yukon golds are my absolute favorite potatoes in the whole world. They have so much flavor! However, you could absolutely
substitute a red potato for the yukons golds, if you'd like.

 I like my mashed potatoes lumpy, so I leave the skin on my potatoes. If you're not into that, feel free to peel the potatoes first.
