Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash, peel (optional), and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard to the butter and garlic mixture. Reduce heat to low and let it warm through, stirring occasionally. Season the sauce with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Keep warm.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher or a hand mixer to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.
Gradually pour the warm cream and mustard mixture into the mashed potatoes, mixing well to combine. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated and creamy.
Transfer the Potatoes Poupon to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy!
