Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot of cold, salted water.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    Bring the pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain and Steam

    Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to steam for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.

  4. 4

    Whip the Potatoes

    In a mixing bowl, combine the hot potatoes with the unsalted butter and heavy cream. Use a hand mixer or a potato masher to whip the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Season the Potatoes

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix until well combined. If desired, fold in chopped chives for added flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the whipped potatoes to a serving dish and enjoy while hot.
