Add 8 oz of spinach into a bowl and set aside.

In a small saucepan, add 1 cup of heavy cream and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, cutting the butter into pieces to fit in the pan.

Crush garlic cloves to peel them easily, then cut them lengthwise and add them to the saucepan with cream and butter.

Peel 3 large potatoes, cut them in half, then cut into smaller chunks, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Wash the potatoes under cold water two times, then place them in a large sauce pot and cover with water.

Add two pinches of salt to the pot of water with potatoes and bring to a boil until fork tender.

Once fork tender, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot to dry on the stove without turning the heat back on, shaking them occasionally until they blister on the outside.

Use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes, squeezing them out until fluffy.

Fish out the garlic cloves from the cream mixture and add them to the ricer with the potatoes for flavor.

Add the cream mixture to the mashed potatoes and gently fold to combine, allowing the starch to absorb the liquid.
