Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 lb russet potato, peeled and cut into large chunks
cold water
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup whole milk
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes longer.
  • Drain the potatoes and press through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the butter, cream, and milk in a small pot over low heat until simmering.
  • Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with chives, if desired.
  • Note: A potato ricer gives these potatoes a super fluffy texture, but you can use a hand masher if you don't own one.
  • Enjoy!
