Ingredients:
- Garlic² Rub
- 12 medium Russet potatoes (3½–4 pounds)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
1. Preheat smoker/grill/oven to 425 degrees F
2. Peel potatoes, then place in a large pot. Fill with enough water to cover potatoes completely, add salt and boil potatoes until fork tender.
3. Whisk together cream, sour cream, butter, and Garlic² in a large mixing bowl. Puree the potatoes by passing through a food mill or ricer. You can also use a stand or hand mixer(or mash by hand if you don’t mind a few lumps).
4. Gently fold potatoes into butter and cream mixture and transfer to a 3 quart baking dish or 9×13 casserole dish. Use a fork or whisk to make small peaks or swirls on the surface.
5. Bake 20 minutes then rotate dish. Continue until golden brown, around 30-40 minutes total.
Recipe Note
1. This can easily be prepared a day or two in advance, cover and chill in the fridge until ready to bake. Increase bake time by about 10 minutes.
2. For a cheesier version, add some fresh grated parmesan to the potatoes after pureeing.
3. Add in some green onion, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits for a “loaded” version.
