Mashed Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cube the Russet potatoes into even-sized pieces. Rinse them under cold water.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Drain and Steam Dry

    Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them steam dry for a few minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Butter and Cream

    Return the potatoes to the pot, add the butter and heavy cream, and allow the butter to melt.

  5. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth. Avoid over-mashing for a better texture.

  6. 6

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Stir in chopped chives before serving.
