Parmesan Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 8 large potatoes
• 3/4 cup milk ((full cream / whole milk) )
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks. Place in a large pot of salted water and boil until fork tender.

2. 2

   Drain and allow to steam dry for a few minutes.

3. 3

   Combine the cream, milk, garlic, salt and pepper in a small saucepan and heat until the butter is melted.

4. 4

   At this stage, you can mash your potatoes with a traditional potato masher, whip them with a mixer or put them through a ricer. It really depends on the finished texture you are after. We love them any way. When I don't have a lot of time I use a traditional masher. This will give you mash containing a few small lumps. A ricer will give you the silkiest, smoothest result.

5. 5

   Stir the warmed cream mixture into the mashed potatoes then add the parmesan cheese and season to taste before serving.
