Description

Smooth and creamy mashed potatoes that will become your new staple mashed potato recipe!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 to 2-1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 11/2 cups whole milk
  • 11/2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons butter
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine the potatoes, milk, cream and 1 tablespoon kosher salt in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven.  Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.  Do not allow the mixture to boil, reducing the heat and increasing the cooking time if necessary. Remove from the heat.
  2. Place a colander inside a large mixing bowl.  Drain the potatoes into the colander, saving the milk-cream mixture remaining in the mixing bowl.  Using a potato ricer, food mill or potato masher, process the potatoes until completely smooth, returning to the cooking pot.  Add the milk-cream mixture to achieve your desired consistency, stirring to combine.  Add the butter, again stirring to melt and combine.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.
