Start by peeling and chopping the potatoes into equal-sized pieces. Uniform chunks cook evenly. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Test doneness with a fork. Pro tip: Don’t overcook; they should hold their shape.
While the potatoes boil, melt butter in a pan. Add minced garlic and sauté until golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn it—burnt garlic tastes bitter. Stir often to release its aroma fully.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them gently before adding the garlic-butter mix and cream. Stir until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. The mash should look fluffy and smell amazing.
Garnish your garlic mashed potatoes with fresh parsley. This adds color and freshness. Serve warm for the best experience. Your kitchen will fill with inviting aromas as you plate this delicious side.
