1 Video | Photo: Creamy Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Peel the potatoes and cut into uniform 1/2-inch pieces. Place into a 4-quart saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1-inch. Cover, set over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove the lid, decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the potatoes can easily be crushed with a pair of tongs, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander.
Put the cream, butter, salt and pepper into the now empty 4-quart saucepan and place back over the heat until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat and set a food mill fitted with the smallest die, on top of the pot. Add 1 cup of potatoes at a time to the mill. Once all of the potatoes have passed through the mill, stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Serve immediately.

These are delicious. I make them all of the time now...I hate to admit it but I used to use "boxed" potatoes - hot mess I know! But once I mentioned food mill the hubby ran out and picked one up and that was all she wrote! I have also added some smashed roasted garlic or even cheese and bacon...these potatoes are amazing! Thank you Alton. :

I have a Stand mixer with a meat grinder attachment that was a perfect substitute for the food mill!! As Alton says he loves a multi-tasker!!!

Delicious every time!! My culinary challenged husband takes charge of this item, and it is always a hit. We’ve substituted Butter Potatoes at times, and have also made it using a ricer or old fashioned potato masher right in the pot. This is now been honorably added as a tried and true family tradition for holiday dinners.
