• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoons Salt

📝 Instructions

1. Peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly sized chunks, roughly 1-2 inches each.

2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.

5. 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.

6. Stir in the Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

7. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley (optional) before serving.

8. Serve warm as a side dish to complement your favorite main course.
