Ingredients

• 2 lbs Russet potatoes
• 6 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks, approximately 1-2 inches wide.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and fill with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by about an inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes cook, heat the milk, heavy cream, and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted. Stir occasionally and set aside; do not boil.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the hot pot to evaporate any remaining water. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher, ricer, or fork until they reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Gradually add the warmed milk mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring or mashing to combine. Adjust the amount of liquid to achieve your preferred texture.

Step 8

Season the mashed potatoes with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and the ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting as necessary.

Step 9

Garnish the mashed potatoes with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
