Add butter, warm cream, roasted garlic paste (or minced fresh garlic), salt, and pepper.
Mash with a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Fold in chives and parsley. Adjust seasoning as needed.
For extra richness, stir in sour cream or Greek yogurt.
How to Make Perfect Mashed Potatoes
Prep potatoes evenly — peeling and cutting into similar-sized chunks ensures uniform cooking.
Boil gently; overcooking makes them watery, undercooking leaves lumps.
Warm cream before adding; cold cream can cool potatoes and make them gluey.
Mash in stages — start with a masher, finish with a mixer for ultra-smooth texture.
Garnish with extra herbs, cracked pepper, or a drizzle of melted butter or olive oil.
