Mashed Potatoes

Mashed Potatoes

Serves 6 to 8

Ingredients:

  • 6 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup heavy cream, warm
  • 1 stick butter, cold cut into tablespoon-sized pieces
  • salt
  • pepper

Directions:

  1. Submerge the potatoes in a large pot of heavily salted water.
  2. Bring the water to just a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer; cook until a skewer can easily pierce the pieces of potato, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and process the potatoes through a rice or food mill.
  4. Place the potatoes back into a pot over low heat.
  5. Fold the butter into the potatoes and add the warm cream to the desired consistency.
  6. Season with salt and pepper.
