How To Make Perfect Mashed Potatoes
  1. Place potatoes and garlic in a Dutch oven and cover with cold salted water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until just tender, about 15 minutes; drain well and return to the Dutch oven over low heat.

  2. Stir with a wooden spoon until potatoes are dried out, about 1 minute.

  3. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Using a potato ricer, rice potatoes and garlic. Stir in butter, sour cream and half and half, being careful not to overstir; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

  4. Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired, or keep warm in the Dutch oven, covered, for 30 minutes.
