Pommes Purée Ingredients

Method

Pommes Purée Directions

1

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks.

2

Cook the Potatoes

Place the potato chunks in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3

Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the whole garlic cloves and cook gently until fragrant and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

4

Mash the Potatoes

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the garlic butter (including the garlic cloves) and heavy cream. Mash until smooth and creamy.

5

Season the Purée

Finely chop the chives and fold them into the potato mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6

Serve

Transfer the pommes purée to a serving dish and garnish with additional chives if desired. Enjoy!
