Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Truffle oil
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Place the potato cubes 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. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, gently heat the heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted. Do not boil.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.

Step 6

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher, ricer, or hand mixer until smooth.

Step 7

Slowly mix in the warm cream and butter mixture, stirring until the potatoes are creamy and fully incorporated.

Step 8

Add the truffle oil, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or truffle oil according to your preference.

Step 10

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped chives for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 11

Serve hot alongside your favorite main dish and enjoy!
