Prep Time
15 minutes
Cook Time
35 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 pounds russet potatoes (peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces (about 5 large))
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into 1/2-inch pieces, at room temperature)
- 2 cloves garlic (peeled and smashed)
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup mascarpone (at room temperature)
-
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a 5-quart saucepan, combine the potatoes, 2 tablespoons butter, the garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander and remove the garlic cloves. Return the potatoes to the pan and, using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth.
- Add the mascarpone, Parmesan, chicken broth, the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to the potatoes. Stir over low heat until smooth and warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and serve.
