Christmas Noms: Garlic Mashed Potatoes

These were good. AND I got to use my stick blender. But, peeling potatoes is only something I do for special occasions.
Alton Brown's Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes
(there's a video on that link)
I used about 5 lbs golden potatoes, peeled and cubed, then boiled until falling apart
Here's how I look peeling potatoes:

I put about 8 cloves of peeled garlic in the mini-food processor, then added it to 3 cups of cream.  I put the cream mixture in a saucepan and scalded it
Then I drained the potatoes and added the cream.
I used my stick blender to combine and turn into lump-free goodness.
The result: very creamy and garlicky mashed potatoes. I used the leftovers to top shepherd's pie.
