Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks. This ensures they cook evenly.

Prepare the Potatoes

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Cook the Potatoes

Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.

Drain and Dry

In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream and unsalted butter together until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm. Do not let it boil.

Heat the Cream and Butter

Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth and free of lumps.

Mash the Potatoes

Gradually add the warm cream and butter mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring gently until fully incorporated and creamy.

Incorporate Cream and Butter

Season the pommes purée with salt and white pepper to taste. Serve warm as a side dish.
