Ingredients
- 3 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into 2” cubes
- 2 tsp salt, divided
- 1 cup salted butter, divided, at room temperature
- ¾ cup heavy cream, at room temperature
- 1¼ tsp white pepper
Directions
- Submerge potatoes in large pot of cold water. Bring to boil with 1 tsp salt. Boil until fork-tender.
- Drain potatoes into a colander and return warm, empty pot to the stove with burner OFF. Add ¾ cup butter and cream to pot, then dump potatoes back into pot.
- Keeping heat OFF, cover pot and let sit until butter melts, about 5 minutes. Mash until creamy, adding another Tbsp of cream if you prefer them creamier.
- Dot top of mashed potatoes with pats of remaining butter, cover and serve as soon as possible.
- Potatoes can be kept warm on very low burner, or in a 200° oven, for about 30 minutes, just add a bit more cream and stir just before serving.
