Photo: Old Fashioned Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 20 large Idaho potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups (2 pounds or 8 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 quart heavy cream
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup chives, chopped
Directions
In a large saucepan boil the potatoes until fork tender, drain all the liquid and return to saucepan. Smash together with a potato masher removing all the lumps.
Add the butter and heavy cream, a little at a time, until you reach the required consistency. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and serve garnished with chopped chives.
Note: Just before finishing you could add any other flavorings desired!

This one piles on the calories but for an occassional treat it is fantastic! I've always made plan mashed potatos and this recipe blew those away! They turn out so creamy, the color is great and taste is the best. We normally have lots of left over potatos, this Thanksgiving we have almost none. I will definitely make these again. Thanks Robert for a great recipe!
