Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches thick.
Step 2
Place the potato chunks into a large pot, then fill the pot with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by about 1 inch.
Step 3
Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 5
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the heavy cream and milk together in a small saucepan over low heat until warm. Do not let it boil.
Step 6
Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.
Step 7
Add the butter, warmed cream and milk mixture, remaining salt, and black pepper to the potatoes.
Step 8
Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. For creamier potatoes, use a hand mixer on low speed, but be careful not to overmix as this can make them gluey.
Step 9
Fold in the chopped chives gently, mixing until evenly distributed.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 11
Serve the mashed potatoes warm, garnished with extra fresh chives if desired.
