5lbsPotatoes, Yukon Gold
2clovesGarlic, peeled
6TbspUnsalted butter
1¼cupsHeavy cream
½cupGreek yogurt
1TbspFine sea salt

Instructions
Wash and cut 5 lbs Potatoes, Yukon Gold into 1-inch cubes. Add them to a large pot, along with the 2 cloves Garlic. Cover with cold water, and season generously with salt.
Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Let boil until the potatoes are fork-tender and nearly falling apart,, about 20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes into a large colander. Remove the garlic. Add the pot back to the stove with the potatoes over low heat.
Mash the potatoes using a hand masher, hand mixer, or a ricer, whichever method you would like to use.
Add 6 Tbsp Unsalted butter, 1¼ cups Heavy cream, and ½ cup Greek yogurt to the potatoes, and mix well to combine. If needed, add more cream if your potatoes are a thicker consistency than you prefer.
Add 1 Tbsp Fine sea salt and 1 tsp Ground black pepper, or to taste.
Serve warm, and with toppings, such as bacon bits, chives, etc., as desired.
Storage
Garlic mashed potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to a month, after that they start to lose their creamy texture and may separate. To reheat, it's best to thaw and heat on the stove.
