Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly sized chunks, roughly 1-2 inches each.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot.
Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream to the pot with the potatoes. Mash them together using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley (optional) before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your favorite main course.
