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.

    Absolutely Delicious

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    These are excellent mashed potatoes! I skipped the olive oil, and added some fresh minced garlic to the melted butter and let... it saute a few minutes, then added the cream and warmed it through. I don't have a food mill so I just whipped them with my hand mixer and they are just wonderful- no gravy needed at all!Read more

    Excellent! I used half-and-half instead of heavy cream and left olive oil out and it was still delicious.

    Loved them!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I want and bought a rice just for these and I'm so glad! Heating up the butter and milk makes a big difference and so does... the ricer. My husband and friend loved them!Read more
