Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lb (9 medium) potatoes
3/4 c milk
1/2 c heavy cream
1/2 c butter
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Cut into large pieces. Add potato pieces to boiling water and reduce heat and cook covered for 20 to 25 minutes; drain. Shake pan gently over low heat to dry potatoes.
  • 2. Heat milk, heavy cream, butter, salt and pepper over medium-low heat until butter is melted. Take out 1/4 cup of the milk mixture; cover and refrigerate.
  • 3. Add remaining milk mixture in small amounts to potatoes in medium bowl, mashing with potato masher after each addition. Beat until potatoes are light and fluffy.
  • 4. Spoon potatoes into a greased 2 quart casserole. Bake immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Pour reserved milk mixture over potatoes. Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes. Just before serving, stir potatoes.
  • 5. If you love garlic, peel and finely chop 1 to 2 cloves before mashing. Use a handheld potato masher for the fluffiest potatoes.
