Garlic mashed potatoes

4 medium/large russet potatoes
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (3-4 cloves)
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper



Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Bake the potatoes by first rubbing them lightly with oil and then baking them in the preheated
oven for 1 hour until they are tender. Cool.
Mash potatoes and remove about half of the skin. You want to leave the rest in.
Melt the butter in a large suacepan over medium heat, then add garlic and saute for 5 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients to the pan and cook for 5-10 minutes while stirring often until
garlic mashed potatoes are very hot.
