Creamy Mashed Potatoes
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Peel the potatoes and cut into uniform 1/2-inch pieces.
- Place into a 4-quart saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1-inch.
- Cover, set over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, remove the lid, decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the potatoes can easily be crushed with a pair of tongs, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
- Drain in a colander.
- Put the cream, butter, salt and pepper into the now empty 4-quart saucepan and place back over the heat until the butter has melted.
- Remove from the heat and set a food mill fitted with the smallest die, on top of the pot.
- Add 1 cup of potatoes at a time to the mill.
- Once all of the potatoes have passed through the mill, stir to combine.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
- Serve immediately.
