Ingredients

10 servings

  • 5 lb russet potato, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • cold water
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes longer.
  • Drain the potatoes and press through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the butter, cream, and milk in a small pot over low heat until simmering.
  • Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with chives, if desired.
  • Note: A potato ricer gives these potatoes a super fluffy texture, but you can use a hand masher if you don’t own one.
  • Enjoy!
