Equipment

• Large pot
• Potato masher, ricer, or hand mixer
• Strainer

Ingredients

  

• 3 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 tbsp salt for boiling water
• ½ cup heavy cream warmed
• ½ cup unsalted butter melted
• ¼ cup whole milk warmed
• ½ tsp salt adjust to taste
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder optional, for extra flavor
• 2 tbsp sour cream optional, for extra creaminess
• 2 tbsp fresh chives or parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

 

Boil the Potatoes:

• In a large pot, add the potatoes and cover with cold water.
• Add 1 tbsp salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Drain & Dry the Potatoes:

• Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Let them sit over low heat for 1-2 minutes to evaporate excess moisture.

Mash Until Fluffy:

• Using a potato masher, ricer, or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth.
• Gradually mix in warm heavy cream, melted butter, and milk, stirring gently to keep them light and fluffy.

Season & Serve:

• Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sour cream (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.
• Garnish with fresh chives or parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk for creaminess.

Substitutions:

• Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
• Swap butter for olive oil for a dairy-free option.
• Add roasted garlic for a deeper flavor.
