Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into uniform chunks about 2 inches in size.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the milk in a small saucepan over low heat until warm. Do not let it boil.
Drain the boiled potatoes in a colander and allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to let any excess moisture evaporate.
Pass the potatoes through a potato ricer or fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl for a smooth and fluffy texture.
Gently fold the butter into the potatoes until fully melted and incorporated.
Gradually mix in the warm milk until the purée reaches your desired consistency.
Season the purée with salt and white pepper to taste, stirring gently to combine.
Drizzle the hazelnut oil over the purée and carefully fold it in, ensuring the nutty aroma is evenly distributed without overmixing.
Serve the potato purée immediately, garnished with an additional drizzle of hazelnut oil if desired.
