Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Rinse the potatoes under cold water.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain and Steam

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to steam for a minute to remove excess moisture.

  4. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Avoid over-mashing to prevent a gummy texture.

  5. 5

    Add Butter and Cream

    In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter until melted. Gradually add this mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring until well combined.

  6. 6

    Season and Serve

    Season the purée with white pepper and additional salt to taste. Serve warm.
