Carrabba's Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Carrabba's mashed potatoes are extra rich and creamy, thanks to plenty of butter, cream, and just the right seasoning!
Starting with the right potatoes is everything—Yukon Golds have the best consistency for a smooth, velvety finish.
I warm the cream and butter together before adding them in so the potatoes absorb everything evenly without turning gummy.
A bit of roasted garlic mixed in brings a deep, mellow richness that takes these to another level.
For that signature Carrabba’s taste, a dash of white pepper and a little extra salt balance everything out.
The best trick? A small splash of extra cream right at the end keeps them soft and silky even after they’ve been sitting for a while.
