Instructions

Step 1

Combine garlic and duck fat into a small saucepan and heat over low heat for about 2 hours. The garlic should be soft and slightly darker in color. Strain the garlic from the duck fat and mash the garlic in a mortar and pestle.

Step 2

Bring a large pot filled ¾ of the way with water, and seasoned generously with salt, to a boil. Once boiling, add potatoes to the water and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine whole milk, heavy cream, and unsalted butter. Heat the mixture to medium heat until it begins to steam.

Step 4

Pass cooked potatoes through a ricer into a large mixing bowl, add the mashed garlic to the potatoes with the milk and cream mixture. Fold together using a spatula to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Serve in a large bowl garnished with butter and fresh cracked black pepper.
