Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings 3 ½ pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed ½ cup butter ½ cup half-and-half cream, or more if needed 1 teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (Optional) Directions Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or an electric mixer on low in a bowl until smooth. Heat butter and half-and-half in a small saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted and half-and-half is warmed, 3 to 5 minutes. Mash or beat butter mixture, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into mashed potatoes until potatoes are light and fluffy. Stir additional half-and-half, 1 tablespoon at a time, into potatoes for creamier consistency. Tips Add finely sliced green cabbage to the warm milk mixture for colcannon-style mashed potatoes.
