Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Serving Size: 6-8
Cook Time: under 1 hour
Ingredients:
5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 - 3 cups heavy cream
Salt and white pepper to taste
Parsley to garnish
Equipment:
Stock pot
Measuring cup
Knife and cutting board
Food mill
Directions:
Place potatoes into a stockpot. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Remove the lid, reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are very soft, approximately 15 - 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside.
Add the butter, 2 cups heavy cream and salt and pepper to the stockpot. Melt over medium high heat and set aside.
Pass the potatoes through a food mill and add them back to the stockpot. Stir to combine with the butter and cream mixture. If you want even creamier potatoes, heat 1 cup heavy cream and add to the mixture.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with melted butter (optional), parsley and additional salt and pepper to taste.
