Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks. Place in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Boil for around 20 minutes til tender. Drain and set to one side.
2 pounds potatoes
In the same pot, add the butter and minced garlic and place on a medium heat.
¼ cup butter, 2 cloves garlic
Once melted, add in the spinach. Cook, stirring well, til the spinach has wilted.
8 ounces spinach
Add in the cream, salt and black pepper. Let the cream warm through, for a minute, don't bring it to a simmer.
½ cup cream (35%), ¼ teaspoon salt, black pepper
Take the cream off of the heat and add in the cooked potatoes. Mash together. Taste for seasoning and serve.

Add salt to the water when you cook your potatoes to enhance the flavor right from the start of cooking.

Don't chop your potatoes too small when you boil them. They can easily overcook and become waterlogged.

Start the potatoes in cold water and bring them up to a boil. This will ensure they cook evenly all the way through.

When you mash the potatoes they should be warm, as should the cream and spinach. If everything is warm, the potatoes will absorb the liquid and flavors more easily.
