Ingredients

• 2 pounds russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cups milk
• 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer the potatoes for about 15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes on low heat to evaporate any excess moisture.

Step 5

In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, warm the butter, heavy cream, and milk together until heated but not boiling.

Step 6

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and lump-free.

Step 7

Gradually stir the warm butter and cream mixture into the mashed potatoes until fully incorporated and creamy.

Step 8

Add the Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes, mixing thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.

Step 9

Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning if necessary to suit your preference.

Step 10

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
