Mashed Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into uniform chunks.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain and Steam

    Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot to allow the excess moisture to evaporate for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream to the potatoes. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm.
