Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks.

2. 2

   Boil the Potatoes

   Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3. 3

   Drain and Steam Dry

   Drain the potatoes in a colander, then return them to the pot. Allow them to steam dry for a couple of minutes to remove excess moisture.

4. 4

   Mash the Potatoes

   Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Add Butter and Cream

   In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the heavy cream. Pour this mixture into the mashed potatoes and mix until well combined.

6. 6

   Season and Garnish

   Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh chives before serving.
