Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 Lbs Potato - Peeled or Cubed

Directions
Directions
- Place the potatoes and garlic cloves in a large pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Season the water generously with salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain well and return the potatoes and garlic to the hot pot. Let them sit over low heat for 1–2 minutes, stirring gently, to evaporate excess moisture.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter and cream together in a small saucepan or microwave until warm and the butter has melted.
- Mash the potatoes and cooked garlic together until mostly smooth.
- Gradually add the warm butter and cream mixture, gently folding it into the potatoes until creamy.
- Fold in the sour cream, garlic powder and black pepper. Taste and add additional salt as needed.
- Spoon into a serving bowl and make a few swirls across the top. Add an extra pat of butter and sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley.
