Instructions
-
Prepare Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Place in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender when pierced with a fork. -
Drain and Mash
Drain the potatoes well. Return them to the pot or a mixing bowl and mash until smooth. -
Add Dairy and Flavor
Stir in butter, half and half, sour cream, and the garlic paste (or minced garlic). Mix until fully incorporated and the mash is creamy. -
Season and Finish
Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste. Fold in the shredded Parmesan cheese and the truffle infused olive oil. Adjust seasoning if needed. -
Serve
Transfer to a serving dish while hot. Optional: garnish with a drizzle of extra truffle oil or a sprinkle of Parmesan.
Tips
For extra smooth potatoes, use a potato ricer before adding the dairy ingredients. If you prefer a stronger truffle flavor, increase the truffle oil by half a teaspoon.
