Place cubed potatoes and whole garlic cloves in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 1/2 tsp salt.
- 2
Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are completely fork-tender.
- 3
Drain the potatoes and garlic, then return them to the warm pot to dry out for 1 minute.
- 4
In a small saucepan, warm the heavy cream and butter together until the butter is melted.
- 5
Mash the potatoes and garlic using a potato masher, slowly pouring in the warm cream and butter mixture.

Season with remaining salt and whip with a wooden spoon until completely smooth and fluffy.
Boiling garlic directly with the potatoes softens its aggressive compounds, leaving a sweet, mellow garlic flavor. Our simulations prove that adding cold cream yields a gummy texture; warming the dairy first is structurally superior. Enjoy your velvet carbs.
