Whip up these incredibly creamy and flavorful Cheesy Garlic Butter Mashed Potatoes. They’re the perfect side dish to elevate any meal, bringing restaurant-quality indulgence right to your table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chives, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, warm the milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Do not boil.
  3. In a separate small skillet, sauté the minced garlic in a tablespoon of butter until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly. Return them to the hot, dry pot.
  5. Mash the potatoes until mostly smooth.
  6. Gradually add the warm milk and butter mixture to the mashed potatoes, mixing until creamy.
  7. Stir in the sautéed garlic, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
  8. Season with salt and black pepper to your liking.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives if desired.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • You can add a pinch of nutmeg for a subtle warmth.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Gruyere or Monterey Jack.
