Ingredients

3 1/2 pounds Russet Potatoes
3 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
6 cloves Garlic (crushed)
2 cup Half and Half (more as needed)
3/4 cup Grated Parmesan
Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Peel, wash, and dice potatoes. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Cook on the stovetop until potatoes are fork tender.
In a skillet over medium heat cook crushed garlic and half and half. Add in butter and allow to melt. Bring to a simmer and allow garlic to soften making sure to not boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain cooked potatoes and return to pot.
Add in warmed half and half and garlic mix to your pot. Mash potatoes and garlic.
Add in more half and half as desired to get preferred consistently. Keep masking with a potato masher or for a whipped texture use an electric hand mixer to mix potatoes.
Last add in parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix then serve and enjoy. I garnished my potatoes with diced chives.

Notes

How long to keep mashed potatoes in the fridge:

I suggest you only keep the mashed potatoes in the fridge for no longer than 3 days. If water pools on them in the refrigerator drain it before reheating and serving.

Mashed Potatoes make the perfect dish for holidays to make ahead of time and reheat the day of.
