Ingredients
- 3 lbs russet or Idaho potatoes washed well but not peeled
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream warmed in the microwave
- Coarse salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Garnish:
- 1/2 cup chopped green scallions
- Drizzle of organic olive oil
Instructions
- Cut the potatoes into halves, this will help the potatoes boil quicker.
- Place the washed potatoes into a large pot and cover with water.
- Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 30 - 40 minutes. To check if the potatoes are done, insert a knife or a fork into the center, the potatoes should be soft but not falling apart.
- Once done, drain the water, place the pot over low heat and add the butter and half of the warm cream to the pot. Using a wire masher, mash the potatoes until almost smooth, leaving some chunks.
- Add the rest of the warm cream little by little, and stir. Season with salt and pepper, taste and adjust.
- If you want the potatoes creamier, stir in a little more warm cream.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, top with freshly chopped green scallions and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Enjoy!
