Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized cubes, about 1.5 inches each, to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, warm the heavy cream and whole milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Do not let them boil. Set aside once warmed.
Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and transfer them back to the pot to let the residual heat evaporate any remaining water.
Add the unsalted butter to the potatoes, and begin mashing them using a potato masher or ricer until they are mostly smooth.
Slowly pour the warmed heavy cream and milk mixture into the mashed potatoes, mashing and stirring continuously until the potatoes reach a creamy consistency.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and ground black pepper. Mix well and taste to adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Optionally, garnish with a pat of butter or chopped fresh herbs like parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
