Ingredients

8 medium-sized Yukon gold potatoes, quartered unpeeled
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
4 cloves garlic, peeled and gently smashed
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Add potatoes, cream, milk, garlic, thyme and bay leaf into a large saucepan and gently boil for 15 minutes until potatoes are just tender and the tip of a paring knife goes through with little resistance. Strain potatoes and reserve the cream mixture but discard the bay leaf, thyme stems and the garlic. Mash the potatoes and fold in the cream mixture until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. Fold in about a tablespoon of the olive oil, the butter, and the grainy mustard. Season with salt and pepper.

Boil gently
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

this recipe was fantastic. You have to remember, though, that you have to boil at a lower temperature. The cream and mild... added such a great flavor. I knew it was going to be fabulous as it was cooking. I am making again this year!Read more

Answer for confused:
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

To the confused person: YES! The quartered potatoes will cook faster, and if you tried to cook the potatoes whole, and they... were different sizes, the little ones would cook faster, thus, the little ones would be done, but the bigs ones would be hard still, OR, the little ones would be mushy, and the big ones done. If you cut them into uniform chunks, they'll cook evenly and get done more quickly.Read more

I have a confession to make...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'd never made "real" mashed potatoes before because they always seemed like too much work. The other night I had some... leftover potatoes, so I searched for a recipe to use them up. This came up and seemed easy enough, so I figured I didn't have anything to lose. They were WAY easy and completely delicious. Thanks Tyler for allowing my family to ditch instant potatoes forever!Read more

loved it
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is delicious. i like the idea of not boiling the potatoes in water. I did use my dutch oven to cook them, do not leave... unitended the cream will boil over.Read more
