5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered, or halved if small
2 cloves garlic
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream

Put potatoes and garlic into a large stockpot; cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil; cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Press through a potato ricer or a food mill into a large bowl, and cover.
Meanwhile, stir milk, cream, butter, and 1 tablespoon salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Stir in creme fraiche.
