Step 1

Place potatoes in a pot with enough cold water to fully cover them. Add salt so the water tastes like sea water. Heat over medium heat until you can easily stick a fork through them (about 20 mins).

Step 2

Drain water. While potatoes are still hot remove the peels (they should slide off easily, but you’ll need a pot holder to hold them). Cut them up into quarters and put back in the pot. Cook over medium heat for 1 minute while stirring, so the moisture inside can evaporate.

Step 3

Remove from heat and add butter. Stir until butter is melted.

Step 4

Heat crushed garlic and half and half over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Add to potatoes a little at a time and stir.

Step 5

Add pepper and salt. Taste and add more salt if necessary- don’t be shy about adding a lot.
