   • Place the russet potatoes in a large saucepan.
   • Add enough water to cover the potatoes, along with 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt.
   • Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
   • Cook until the tip of a knife inserted into the potatoes meets no resistance, which should take about 20 to 25 minutes.

2. 🧄 Prepare Garlic Cream:

   • While the potatoes are cooking, heat a medium saucepan over medium heat.
   • Add canola oil to the pan and swirl to coat the bottom.
   • When the oil shimmers, add the finely minced garlic cloves.
   • Saute the garlic, stirring constantly, until golden brown, which usually takes about 2 minutes.
   • Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer, reducing the mixture by one third. This typically takes around 12 minutes.

3. 🥣 Mash and Mix:

   • Once the potatoes are fork-tender, drain them thoroughly.
   • Transfer the cooked potatoes to a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
   • Pour in the reduced garlic cream mixture.
   • Using a hand masher and wooden spoon, or a mixer with a paddle attachment, whip the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

4. 🧈 Finish and Serve:

   • Cut the stick of butter into small pieces and fold it into the whipped potatoes until fully incorporated.
   • Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
   • Serve the Garlic Mashers immediately while warm and enjoy the creamy, garlicky goodness!

Tips and Tricks

• For extra flavor, roast the garlic cloves before adding them to the cream.
• If you prefer a lighter version, substitute half-and-half or whole milk for the heavy cream.
• Don’t overmix the potatoes to avoid a gummy texture.
• Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Serving Suggestions

• Garlic Mashers make a perfect side dish for roasted chicken, grilled steak, or seared salmon.
• Pair them with your favorite vegetable medley for a well-rounded meal.
• These creamy potatoes are also a hit at potlucks and holiday gatherings.

Storage and Reheating

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the mashed potatoes in a microwave-safe dish and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until heated through.
• Alternatively, reheat in a covered oven-safe dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or until warmed to your liking.
