A delightful twist on the classic mashed potatoes, infused with aromatic herbs and a creamy texture.
Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized pieces.
Cutting the potatoes into similar sizes ensures they cook evenly.
Place the potatoes and garlic cloves in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil.
Starting with cold water helps the potatoes cook evenly.

Returning the potatoes to the pot helps remove excess moisture.
Mash the potatoes and garlic together until smooth.
For extra smooth potatoes, use a ricer or food mill.
Mix in the butter and cream, adjusting the consistency as needed.
Warm the cream slightly before adding to keep the potatoes hot.
