Ingredients

• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 2 large Sweet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 clove Garlic (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the russet potatoes and sweet potatoes into evenly-sized chunks (roughly 1-inch pieces) to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and place the potatoes in the pot. Optionally, add 1 peeled garlic clove for extra flavor.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the heavy cream and milk in a small saucepan over low heat until warm. Do not let it boil.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot. Let them sit for a minute to allow excess moisture to evaporate.

Step 6

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or pass them through a ricer for a smoother texture.

Step 7

Add the butter, warmed heavy cream, milk, salt, and ground black pepper to the potatoes. Stir until creamy and well combined.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.

Step 9

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
