½cupheavy cream
½cupbutterunsalted
1teaspoonsalt
1teaspoongarlic powder
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes. Boil until a fork is able to be inserted without resistance. Don't boil until the potatoes fall apart.
Drain the water.
Add the cream, butter, salt and garlic to the potatoes and mash with your potato masher.
If your potatoes are too dry, add a little more cream until you have them the consistency you want. You can always add more but can't take any away so just add a little at a time.
Make a crater in the top of the hot potatoes and add another little bit of butter to melt.
