1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
3
Drain the Potatoes
Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to steam dry for a couple of minutes.
4
Mash the Potatoes
In the same pot, add the butter to the drained potatoes. Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until smooth.
5
Add Cream and Seasoning
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to mash until you reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If using garlic, you can add minced garlic for flavor.
6
Serve
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and enjoy!
