Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:
3 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
2 cups half-and-half (16 ounces)
6 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons kosher salt
pepper to taste
6 ounces grated parmesan

Directions:
Peel and dice potatoes, make sure they are all relatively the same size. Place in a large saucepan and cover w/water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce heat to maintain a rolling boil. Cook until potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork.

Heat the half-and-half and the garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and set aside.

Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain off the water. Mash and add the garlic-cream mixture, salt and parmesan; stir to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes so the mixture can thicken before serving.
