Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes & Gravy
These mashed potatoes are buttery and garlicky, with a sprinkle of Parmesan to take them right over the top. Perfect for holiday gatherings, Sunday dinner, or any time you just want some good ol’ comfort food!
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by boiling a big pot of salted water. Add your diced potatoes and cook them until they’re tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are boiling, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes. You want that garlic to be nice and fragrant, but don’t let it burn!
- Once the potatoes are done, drain them and return them to the pot. Mash the heck outta those potatoes until they’re nice and smooth.
- Pour in the heavy cream and melted garlic butter. Add the grated Parmesan and mix everything together until it’s creamy and delightful.
- Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Don’t be shy with that seasoning! You know what your palate likes.
- If you want to get fancy, sprinkle some chopped parsley on top for a pop of color.
