Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the minced garlic, melted butter, and heavy cream.

Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
