Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon potatoes scrubbed clean
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp salt less if serving with gravy or other salty toppings
Instructions
- Place potatoes directly on the middle rack, or baking sheet, for 30-40 minutes or until soft; a fork should go in with almost no resistance. (It is better to overcook than to undercook.)
- While potatoes are cooking heat heavy cream and butter in a sauce pan.
- Remove from oven and while still hot, with an oven mitt or tongs, cut potatoes in half and scoop out the potato from the skins.
- Mash the potato with a hand masher or a ricer. Stand/hand mixer options are not required.
- Pour hot butter and cream mixture into mashed potatoes and fold in mixture with a spatula until combined. No chunks should remain.
- Add in the salt. Taste and adjust as needed.
- Garish with chives and freshly cracked black pepper.
