Ingredients (7)

  • 24 oz russet potatoes 4 small, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup plain whole milk
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Place 24 oz potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook partially covered for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are totally soft and can easily be pierced with a fork. Drain water completely.

2

Mash potatoes with a masher or ricer until smooth (you can pass the mashed potatoes through a sieve to make it even smoother.)

3

Return the mashed potatoes to the pot. Turn the heat on low. Add 1 tbsp butter, 1/4 cup milk, 2 tbsp heavy cream, 1/2 tbsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes.

4

Turn off the heat. Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp chopped parsley and serve.
