Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Truffle oil
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, gently heat the heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted. Do not boil.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher, ricer, or hand mixer until smooth.
Slowly mix in the warm cream and butter mixture, stirring until the potatoes are creamy and fully incorporated.
Add the truffle oil, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or truffle oil according to your preference.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped chives for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve hot alongside your favorite main dish and enjoy!
