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.

Time 1h

Yield 9 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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.
