Silky, garlicky, and comfortingly cheesy mashed potatoes that are a reliable crowd-pleaser, perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs potatoes (Russets or Yukon Golds)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into roughly equal-sized chunks.
  2. Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, and salt the water generously. Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot off the heat for a minute to let excess moisture evaporate.
  4. Add the butter, sour cream, crushed garlic, and grated parmesan while keeping the potatoes hot.
  5. Mash everything together until smooth, using a potato masher or ricer.
  6. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Serve warm immediately.

Notes

Use starchy potatoes for fluffier mash. Freshly grated Parmesan integrates best, and you can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt and milk if needed.
