Yield: 6 Servings
Ingredients: 3 pounds russet or yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large cubes 1 sticks + 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided 7 cloves garlic cloves individually smashed with the back of a knife 3/4 cup warm heavy cream 3/4 cup sour cream And many more.
Instructions:
First step, Melt 1 stick of butter on a low heat in a small saucepan. Continue to keep warm on a low heat until milk solids rise to the top, remove milk solids. Add smashed garlic and cook on low to infuse the garlic, 15 minutes. REMOVE GARLIC CLOVES AND DISCARD, keep butter warm over a low heat.
After that, While the butter melts and garlic cooks, add potatoes to a medium pot and fill with water making sure all potatoes are covered, Season water liberally with salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
And now, Drain potatoes, making sure to get rid of ALL excess moisture. VERY IMPORTANT! I like to let them drain for a few minutes in the colander and then blot them with a dry paper towel.
