1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
2
Cook the Potatoes
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
3
Mash the Potatoes
Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth. Avoid over-mashing to prevent them from becoming gummy.
4
Add Butter and Cream
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter together until the butter melts. Gradually add this mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring to combine.
5
Incorporate Cheese
Fold in the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, mixing until melted and well incorporated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6
Serve
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish, garnish with chopped chives if desired, and serve warm.
