Ingredients

2.5 lbs new or baby Yukon Gold potatoes

One wild garlic stalk

1/4 cup (half a stick) butter

1/2 cup half and half (use heavy cream for richer flavor)

Salt (kosher is nice)

Grated hard cheese (asiago, parmesan, romano) to taste

Directions

Thoroughly wash the potatoes

Halve or quarter the potatoes, leaving the skins on but cutting off any dark spots or blemishes

Cover the potatoes with about 2 inches of water in a large pot

Add salt until the water has slightly more salinity than sea water, then allow the potatoes to brine for an hour

Wash the garlic greens and slice into 1" sections

Wilt the greens in a little of the butter over medium-low until thoroughly softened and starting to pick up some color; set aside

Boil the potatoes until fork tender; drain thoroughly and return to pot

Add in butter, garlic greens, and half and half, and mash. Don't overmash, we're going for some chunks here.

Add cheese and black pepper to taste; check seasoning and adjust. You shouldn't need to add salt.

By wild garlic do you just mean the wild garlic that grows in the lawn? How do you tell it from the wild onions (or does it matter much)?

I used store-bought (from a local organic market). I'm not sure how easy it is to find actually growing wild, or in gardens.

Addendum: a good substitution would probably be half a leek and a few cloves of garlic.
