Truffled Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 3 pounds red skin potatoes, cut into 2-inch dice
• 1 1/2 cups light cream
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon)
• 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons truffle oil

Directions

Put the potatoes into a large saucepan and cover with water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender, about 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return to a low heat for 2 to 3 minutes to dry up any excess water.

Put the cream and butter into a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Warm until the butter has melted into the cream.

Using a masher, mash the potatoes in the saucepan. Add the garlic, cream, butter, salt and pepper and mix well using a large spoon. Stir in the truffle oil and serve.
