Cut your potatoes in even chunks, about 2 in cubes. You do not need to peel your potatoes, but can if you prefer.
Place your cut potatoes in your pot and cover with cold water. Add in the 2 Tbsp Salt and put on the stove to boil.
Cook the potatoes anywhere from 20-30 minutes until just fork tender. I check my potatoes after about 15 minutes and keep checking periodically until a fork inserts easily. When they are fork tender, strain out the water and return the cooked potatoes to the pot.
Add in your butter, cream, salt and roasted garlic. Mash your potatoes using a potato masher until you get your desired consistency. I like to have some lumps left in my mashed potatoes to give them a more rustic feel.
To serve the potatoes, garnish with fresh herbs such as chives, sage, or parsley, and a fresh pat of butter. Enjoy!
