Ingredients

- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (optional)

Instructions
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add those cubed potatoes and cook until they are fork-tender—about 15-20 minutes should do the trick.

- Once the potatoes are done, drain them and return them to the pot. It’s time to fluff them up!
- Add in the melted butter and garlic, along with the milk, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mash away until it’s smooth and creamy!
- If you’re feeling fancy, fold in some fresh basil for that vibrant Italian kick!
