Ingredients
-
3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
-
1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt
-
½ cup salted butter, cubed
-
4 large cloves garlic, crushed
-
1 cup whole milk, warmed
-
1 cup sour cream
-
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
-
2 teaspoons kosher salt
-
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
Directions
-
Place potatoes and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the salt in a large stock pot. Add enough cold water to cover potatoes by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high and boil until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, place salted butter and garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until garlic is fragrant and white milk solids have separated from butter, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
-
Remove potatoes from heat and drain in a colander. Return potatoes to the pot; add milk, sour cream, unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper.
-
Mash using a potato masher until smooth. (Avoid over-mashing or the starches will form a glue-like texture.) Transfer to a serving bowl.
-
Pour garlic butter through a fine mesh strainer into a small bowl. Discard milk solids and garlic.
-
Pour butter over mashed potatoes and sprinkle with scallions.
