Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Peel and Chop the Potatoes

    Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into equal-sized chunks (about 1-2 inches). This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the chopped potatoes and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Mashing and Mixing

  1. 3

    Drain the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and let them sit for a minute to allow excess steam to escape.

  2. 4

    Add Butter and Cream

    Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of heavy cream to the potatoes.

  3. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the potatoes gummy.

Seasoning

  1. 6

    Season the Potatoes

    Add 1 tsp of black pepper, 1 tsp of garlic powder, and 2 tbs of chopped fresh chives to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Warm

    Transfer the whipped potatoes to a serving bowl. Garnish with additional chives if desired, and serve warm.
