Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 clove Garlic (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel and chop the russet potatoes and sweet potatoes into evenly-sized chunks (roughly 1-inch pieces) to ensure even cooking.
Fill a large pot with water, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and place the potatoes in the pot. Optionally, add 1 peeled garlic clove for extra flavor.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the heavy cream and milk in a small saucepan over low heat until warm. Do not let it boil.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot. Let them sit for a minute to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or pass them through a ricer for a smoother texture.
Add the butter, warmed heavy cream, milk, salt, and ground black pepper to the potatoes. Stir until creamy and well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
