Holiday Mashed Potatoes

Description

This simple mashed potato recipe can use either heavy cream or half-and-half, depending on how rich you want the potatoes to be. Heavy cream creates a richer, more decadent dish, while half-and-half produces creamy potatoes with a lighter finish.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: garlic powder, cheese and/or chives to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut potatoes into evenly sized pieces.
  2. Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water and add a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Drain the potatoes and return them to the warm pot.
  5. Warm the heavy cream or half-and-half with the butter.
  6. Gradually add the warm dairy mixture to the potatoes while mashing until they reach your preferred consistency.
  7. Season with salt and pepper. Add garlic powder, cheese and/or chives to taste, if desired.
  8. Serve warm.
