1
Peel and Cut the Potatoes
Begin by peeling the russet potatoes and cutting them into evenly sized chunks (about 2 inches). This ensures they cook evenly.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
3
Drain and Steam Dry
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Allow them to sit for a few minutes to steam dry, which helps achieve a fluffy texture.
4
Prepare Butter and Cream
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. In a separate saucepan, warm the heavy cream gently until just heated through.
5
Mash the Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Using a potato masher, begin mashing the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
6
Combine Ingredients
Gradually add the melted butter and warm cream to the mashed potatoes, mixing until fully incorporated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

7
Garnish
If desired, finely chop the chives and sprinkle them over the pommés purée. Drizzle with olive oil for added flavor.
8
Serve
Serve the pommés purée warm as a side dish to your favorite main course. Enjoy!
