HOW TO BOIL POTATOES
Rinse and scrub off any dirt from the outside of your potatoes.
Start a large stock pot of water to boil on the stove.
Next cube the potatoes; you can peel them if you want.
Be sure to cut out any bad parts of the potaotes as you are peeling and washing the potatoes.
Once your water in the stockpot is at a rolling boil add the cubed potaotes in to the pot.
Boil until you can easily split the cubes, i use a wooden spoon to press chunks of potatoes against the pot to see if they are mashable.
Pour the pot of boiling water and potatoes into an over teh sink strainer.
Allow the water to drip off of the potatoes and then transfer into a
HOW TO MAKE CREAMY MASHED POTATOES
Once your potatoes have dripped the excess water move to to yoru kitchen aid mixer or a large mixing bowl.
Cut your 1/2 cup butter or stick of butter into smaller cubes, it will melt better this way.
Add in your butter, and minced garlic with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix with the stand mixer or an electric mixer mix, this will allow the butter to melt.
Add some of the heavy cream to the bowl and start to mix, I add this slowly as you can make potatoes to runny and not be able to remove the cream. If you potatoes are not as fluffy as you want you can add more or even add more butter.
Serve and enjoy!!
