This may be made up to 24 hours in advance which makes this perfect to serve at a holiday meal or dinner party, if you are not an onion-lover you may omit. - prep time does not include cooking the potatoes. Ingredients:
12 medium russet potatoes (peeled but leave whole, or use yukon gold potatoes) |
1 large head of garlic (broken into cloves, peeled and left whole) |
1/3 cup butter (can increase to 1/2 cup) |

1/2 cup whipping cream (35% cream) |
1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese |
1 -2 large green onion, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste) |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste) |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Place the whole potatoes and peeled garlic cloves in a large pot; cover with cold water.
2. Add in 1 tablespoon salt to the water; cover then bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender.
4. Drain the cooked potatoes and garlic cloves over a strainer, then place in a large bowl.
5. Mash the potatoes and the garlic.
6. While still warm mix in butter, sour cream, whipping cream, white cheddar cheese, onion and salt.
