Ingredients
Gather these simple ingredients to create your Paris Mash:
- 2 pounds of potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work wonderfully)
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- ½ cup of unsalted butter
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Chives or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to make your creamy mashed potatoes:
- Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into even chunks. This ensures they cook evenly.
- Boil: Place the potato chunks in a large pot and fill it with cold water, making sure the water covers the potatoes completely. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain: Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to steam for a minute or two to remove excess moisture.
- Mash: Using a potato masher, start mashing the potatoes until smooth. For an even creamier texture, you can use a ricer.
- Add Cream and Butter: In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Gradually stir this mixture into the mashed potatoes until well combined and creamy.
- Season: Taste your mashed potatoes and season with more salt and freshly ground pepper as needed.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with chives or parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
