1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add sea salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3
Drain and Steam Dry
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them steam dry for a few minutes.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes to the pot and use a potato masher to mash them until smooth.
5
Add Cream and Butter
Add the heavy cream and unsalted butter to the mashed potatoes. Stir until well combined and creamy.
6
Season to Taste
Taste the mashed potatoes and add additional sea salt if necessary. Mix well.
7
Serve
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and enjoy!
