Wash potatoes and place in a large stock pot with water.

Set burner to high and bring to a boil. Reduce temp and simmer for 10 minutes or until fork tender.

To a small sauce pan, add butter, half and half and garlic. While stirring /whisking occasionally, melt butter on medium-low heat. (Avoid high temps to prevent the cream from separating.)

Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl for mashing.

Start mashing potatoes and add cream and seasoning. Continue mashing to desired consistency and stir to fully incorporate seasoning. Enjoy!
