Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

4 lbs russet potatoes
2 Tbs Kosher salt
2 cups half-and-half
8 cloves garlic, crushed
8 oz Parmesan, grated

Directions

1. Peel and dice the potatoes. Try to get the pieces roughly the same size (for even cooking). Place into a large saucepan, add the salt and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Keep the burner hot enough to maintain a vigorous boil. Keep cooking until the potatoes fail apart when prodded with a utensil (i.e. a fork).
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the half-and-half and garlic until simmering. During this time, remove the potatoes from the heat and drain out the remaining water. Mash the potatoes to a desired chunkiness and add in the cream/garlic mixture and the Parmesan until combined. Let sit for a few minutes to thicken and fluff with a fork if desired. Serve.
