Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.25 kg / 2.5 lb potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
  • 2/3 cup (160 ml) milk (full or low fat)
  • 3/4 cup (185 ml) thickened cream (heavy cream)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise, preferably whole egg (or substitute with 1/4 cup cream)
  • 1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried), plus more for garnish
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4 tsp salt

  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  2. Peel and cut potatoes into 2/3-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
  3. Add milk, cream, mayonnaise, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, and shredded cheese (excluding mozzarella) to the bowl. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly.
