Description
Delicious creamy mashed potatoes made with Yukon Gold or Yellow potatoes, butter, and heavy cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs Yukon Gold or Yellow Potatoes
- 8 tbsp Salted Butter
- 2/3 cup Heavy Cream (Warmed)
- to taste Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Peel and cut the potatoes into roughly the same size, about 2 inches. Add the potatoes to a large pot and fill it with cold water. Add a tablespoon of salt.
- Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce it to a simmer. Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
- In a small saucepan, add the heavy cream and butter. Heat for 3-5 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Let them sit for about a minute. This helps the steam escape, giving you a fluffy mashed potato.
- Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes.
- Add the warmed heavy cream mixture to the potatoes. Mix until you get your desired consistency. We like some chunks.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, topped with butter and chives.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic or herbs to the mashed potatoes.
- Chives can be used as a garnish for added freshness.
