Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Russet potatoes
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and chop the russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1-inch cubes.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15–20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, warm the heavy cream and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted. Do not let it boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly, then return them to the pot. Allow them to rest uncovered for 2–3 minutes to let excess moisture evaporate.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and free of lumps.
Stir in the warm butter and cream mixture, followed by the Dijon mustard, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or mustard to suit your preference.
Serve the mashed potatoes warm, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or chopped parsley if desired.
