Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Yukon Gold potatoes
- 250 g Unsalted butter
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tsp Salt
- 2 L Cold water
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 5 cm in diameter, to ensure even cooking.
Fill a large pot with 2 liters of cold water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Place the potatoes in the pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and easily mashable.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until warm, then set it aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat and let the residual moisture evaporate for about 1-2 minutes.
Pass the potatoes through a potato ricer or a food mill into a large bowl for an ultra-smooth texture.
In the same pot used for cooking the potatoes, melt the butter over low heat. Stir the riced potatoes back into the pot with the melted butter until fully incorporated.
Slowly add the warm heavy cream to the potatoes, stirring constantly, until a silky smooth consistency is achieved.
Season the Paris Mash with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt (or to taste) and stir well to combine.
Serve the Paris Mash immediately as a luxurious side dish to your favorite proteins or main courses. Enjoy!
