Follow The Directions

01

Step
20 mins

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold, salted water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. (5 minutes)

02

Step
1 mins

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.

03

Step
0 mins

Drain the potatoes thoroughly using a colander. Return the drained potatoes to the pot.

04

Step
0 mins

Place the pot with the potatoes over low heat. Add the chilled butter cubes and warmed heavy cream. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

05

Step

Use a potato masher or a ricer to create a smooth and creamy consistency. For an even more refined texture, pass the mixture through a food mill.

06

Step

Continue mashing and stirring until all ingredients are fully incorporated, and the potatoes reach your desired level of smoothness. Add more warmed cream if a silkier texture is desired. (2-3 minutes)

For the ultimate flavor infusion, try roasting garlic cloves and incorporating them into the potatoes while mashing.
Warming the cream before adding it to the potatoes helps maintain their temperature and prevents them from becoming gluey.
Using a ricer or food mill ensures an exceptionally smooth and lump-free texture.

    I found that using an electric mixer made them a little gummy, so I'll stick to a potato masher next time.

    I added a pinch of nutmeg, and it was amazing!

    Can you use unsalted butter, and if so, how much salt should I add?

    Delicious and creamy! I used whole milk because that's what I had on hand, and they still turned out great.
