You can make these extra-creamy mashed potatoes up to 1 day ahead. Reheat at 350 degrees in a foil-covered baking dish for 10 to 20 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream, warmed

Directions

  1. In a large pot, cover potatoes by 2 inches with salted water. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes. Drain thoroughly and pass potatoes through a ricer or food mill into pot.

  2. Over low heat, add butter and stir until melted. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until potatoes are stiff, about 1 minute. Gradually add cream, stirring constantly to combine. Using a rubber spatula, pass potatoes through a fine-mesh sieve. Season with salt and pepper.
