Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs potatoes, gold
- 3 garlic cloves, large
- 2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1 teaspoon table salt
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning or to taste
- ¼ cup butter, melted more if desired
- ½ cup milk, warmed whole, 2%, add more to preference
- ¼ cup heavy cream, warmed
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Scrub potatoes under cool running water. Pat dry. Peel potatoes and dice into 2 inch pieces.
- Add diced potatoes, garlic cloves, and salt to a large pot of water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until potatoes can be easily pieced with a knife, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain potatoes over a large colander or strainer in the sink. Return cooked potatoes back to the pot and set back on the stove. You may choose to add potatoes to a large bowl instead.
- Add Cajun/Creole seasoning and melted butter to the potatoes and mash.
- Heat milk and heavy cream together. Add about half to the potatoes and whip with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add more milk and cream until desired consistency is reached. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Keep warm over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Notes
We like peeled potatoes for this recipe, but you may choose to keep the skins on.
A Dutch oven can be used to cook and serve.
Don't add liquids all at once to reach your desired consistency.
