Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Russet Potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Your Potatoes: Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into even chunks, about two inches thick.
- Boil Away: Place the potato chunks in a large pot filled with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Drain and Dry: Drain the potatoes well and let them sit in the pot for a minute to evaporate excess water.
- Mash It Up: Using a potato masher or fork, mash the potatoes until fluffy and smooth.
- Add Butter and Cream: Stir in the unsalted butter and heavy cream until fully combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve With Flair: Transfer the creamy potatoes to a serving bowl. For an extra touch, drizzle with melted butter or sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired.
