Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Chicken broth (optional)
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly-sized chunks, roughly 1.5 inches each, to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until warm. Do not boil. Set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Add the unsalted butter, warm heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.
Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency, if needed, by adding a little chicken broth.
Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the seasoned mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of dried parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
