Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Peel and Cut Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into quarters to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, fill with water and add 1 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook Potatoes

    Once the water is boiling, add the quartered potatoes. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  2. 4

    Drain Potatoes

    Carefully drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a minute to allow excess moisture to escape.

Mashing

  1. 5

    Mash Potatoes

    Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth.

  2. 6

    Add Butter and Cream

    Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until the butter is melted and the mixture is creamy.

  3. 7

    Season

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix in the chopped parsley for a fresh flavor.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Spoon the mashed potatoes into a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve hot.
