Let’s mash up some garlicky bliss! Toss the cubed potatoes and garlic cloves into a big pot—cover ‘em with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil over high heat—let’s get cooking!
Lower the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes—until the potatoes are fork-tender and the garlic’s soft. That garlic’s gonna melt right in—oh, the smell!
Drain ‘em well—shake off that water—and toss the potatoes and garlic back into the pot. Let ‘em sit for a minute—dries ‘em out a bit for the creamiest mash.
Warm the cream and butter in a small saucepan—or microwave ‘til the butter’s melted and the cream’s steamy. Pour it over the potatoes—start mashing with a potato masher or fork ‘til it’s smooth as you like. Get that garlic all mixed in—pure heaven!
Season with salt and pepper—taste it and tweak ‘til it’s just right. If you’ve got chives, fold ‘em in now—adds a little green sparkle. Give it one last stir—look at that creamy goodness!
Serve it up hot—pile it next to steak, chicken, or just eat it straight from the pot (no shame!). Scoop a big spoonful—this is smooth, garlicky, and oh-so-comforting. Enjoy every cozy bite!
