Ingredients

▢ 2 pounds gold potato peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
▢ 1¾ cups heavy cream
▢ 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
▢ 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Place the potatoes into a pot and add enough water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring the it to a boil then reduce the heat to keep the water at a high simmer. Allow the potatoes to cook until fork tender, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the heavy cream and butter into a microwave safe container. Once the potatoes are cooked, microwave until the cream is hot and the butter has melted, about 1½ minutes.
*You can also heat it up on the stovetop.*
When the potatoes are cooked, strain it well and immediately press them through a mesh strainer or a ricer while hot.
Optional: If you wish to achieve an extra smooth texture, pass the mashed potatoes through the meshed strainer again.
Next, add the hot cream and butter mixture along with the salt. Gently fold and stir everything until well incorporated.
*Make sure to not over mix or stir the potatoes too vigorously! It'll cause the mashed potato to turn gummy.*
Serve the mashed potato while it's hot. If you'd like, top with a slab of butter and a couple cracks of black pepper.
