Kelly's Favorite Mashed Potatoes

More is more when it comes to butter.

Ingredients:

For the Mashed Potatoes:

• 3 Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled & cut in half
• 2 Russet Potatoes, peeled & quartered
• 1 stick butter, cut into chunks
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp garlic powder or minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• Salt to taste (I use at least 1 tsp)

For the Toppings:

• 4 Tbsp melted butter
• 2 tsp garlic powder or minced garlic
• 1 ½ Tbsp chopped fresh chives
• 1 ½ Tbsp chopped fresh dill
• Black pepper to taste
• Sea salt to taste

Directions:

1. Place potatoes into a deep pot & fill with water to completely cover the potatoes. Bring the water to a boil on high heat.
2. Once boiling, lower heat to medium & continue cooking the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they are easily pierced through with a fork.
3. Meanwhile, microwave butter & heavy cream together until melted, then set aside.
4. Once the potatoes are tender, immediately take them off the heat & drain them.
5. Then, place the potatoes in a serving dish & mash with a fork, masher, or potato ricer.
6. Next, fold the butter/cream mixture, garlic, pepper, & salt into the potatoes just until combined.
7. Toppings: Pour the 4 Tbsp melted butter evenly over the mashed potatoes, then sprinkle garlic, chives, dill, & desired amounts of pepper & salt all over the top, then enjoy !!!!
