Velvety Mashed Potatoes
Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence

Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 large Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil, optional
2 tablespoons chopped chives, for garnish

Directions
Warm the cream with the butter in a small saucepan
over medium heat until the butter melts; set aside.

Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan with cold water to cover. Bring to boil then
add 1 teaspoon of salt and reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until
the potatoes are very tender. Drain. Pass the potatoes through a food mill or a
ricer into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the warm cream and butter mixture until
the cream is absorbed and the mixture is smooth. Season the potatoes with salt and
pepper and finish them off by stirring in 1/4 cup olive oil. Top with chopped
chives.
