Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ lb yukon gold potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch (2 cm) pieces
2 cloves garlic, peeled
5 cups cold water
salt, to taste
½ cup butter, cubed
1 cup heavy cream
2 ½ cups shredded cheese, such as Swiss, Comté, Fontina or Gruyère

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the potatoes, garlic, and cover with cold water. Add a big pinch of salt.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes and garlic in a colander and press them through the holes of the colander with a metal spoon back into the pot. Alternatively, use a potato ricer.
  • Add the butter and one clove of garlic to the potatoes and stir over medium-low heat with a rubber spatula until melted and smooth.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and stir again until combined.
  • Gradually add in the cheese, stirring between each addition, until completely melted.
  • Continue stirring the potatoes until smooth, thick, and elastic.
  • Begin to stretch the potatoes upwards with the spatula. If the mixture is breaking, add in more cheese. If the mixture is too thick add in more cream.
  • Serve immediately as a side with roasted veggies or a meat of choice, or alone with fresh chopped garlic!
  • Enjoy!
