White Cheddar & Garlic Mashed Potatoes

White Cheddar & Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 2–3 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• s.a.l.t. sisters Pink Himalayan Mineral Salt, fine
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup white cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 TBSP chopped chives

Directions:

1. Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a large pinch of Pink Himalayan Mineral Salt. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20-30 minutes. Drain well.
2. In a small pot over medium heat, combine the cream, butter, garlic, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Heat the mixture until hot but do not allow it to boil.
3. While the potatoes are still warm, mash them using a potato masher or large fork.
4. Gradually strain and stir the warm cream mixture into the mashed potatoes, a bit at a time, until the potatoes are fluffy and well-mixed.
5. Gently fold in the grated white cheddar cheese and chopped chives. Add more salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
