  • Yield Serves 10 to 12

Ingredients

    • 4 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch-thick slices
    • Coarse salt
    • 1 cup whole milk, or heavy cream, or a combination
    • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
    • Freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Put potatoes in a large saucepan, and cover with cold water. Add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander.
  2. Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Press the potatoes through a ricer into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water; stir until smooth. Pour in warm milk in a slow, steady stream, stirring constantly. Stir in butter, and season with salt and pepper
