• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 6 medium potatoes)

4 tablespoons butter (1/4 cup)

1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 large cloves)

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/2 cup heavy cream

minced chives (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Place raw Yukon Gold potato cubes in a large steamer basket over a large pot of boiling water. Cover and steam until very tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

When potatoes are nearly tender, melt butter in a small saucepan. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute (or longer for a mellower garlic flavor). Add salt and heavy cream; stir until just heated through. Remove from heat.

Press hot potatoes through a ricer or food mill into a large bowl (recipe note #4). Pour butter mixture over and stir until well combined. Garnish with chives if desired and serve.
