Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cube the russet potatoes into evenly sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Do not let it come to a boil; just gently heat until warm.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to steam off excess moisture.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, begin to whip the potatoes on low speed. Gradually add the warm heavy cream and unsalted butter, whipping until the potatoes become smooth and fluffy.
Season the whipped potatoes with the ground white pepper and adjust salt to taste.
Optional: Garnish with finely chopped chives before serving for added color and flavor.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy as a delicious side dish.
