Ingredients

5 lb russet potato, peeled and cut into large chunks
2 bay leaves
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
3 cups heavy cream
3 cups whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

Add the potatoes, bay leaves, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to a large pot. Pour in the cream and milk, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes, reserving the cooking liquid, and discard the herbs and garlic. Press the potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl.
Add about 1½ cups of the reserved cooking liquid to the potatoes and stir until creamy. Add the butter, salt, and pepper, and stir to incorporate.
Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.
Note: You can save any extra cooking liquid and use it to rehydrate leftover mashed potatoes the next day.

DECADENT MASHED POTATOES

Decadent Mashed Potatoes image

When the potatoes are finished cooking, immediately drain and mash them while hot. Have your cream and butter heated and ready to add in right then. A few lumps are OK. If you overstir or let the potatoes cool before mashing, they'll be gluey.

Ingredients

2 lbs idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into eighths
2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut to similar size of Idaho potatoes
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon sea salt
1/4 cup butter
1 1/4 cups heavy cream or 1 1/4 cups milk
1 pinch white pepper
fresh chives, thinly sliced or fresh basil, sliced into thin ribbons

Steps:

Place cut potatoes in a 6-quart saucepan and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon sea salt, cover and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter with cream, 1 tablespoon sea salt, and a pinch of white pepper.
When potatoes are cooked thoroughly (remove a piece and taste to ensure tenderness), drain in a colander. While still hot, pass potatoes through a food mill with a medium sieve attachment, or through a potato ricer, and put back into the pot in which they were cooked.
Slowly pour the warm butter-cream mixture into the potatoes; incorporate gently with a wooden spoon. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh chives or basil. Serve immediately.
