Ingredients
- 2 pounds red skin potatoes
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup milk optional for creamier potatoes
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh chives for garnish optional
Instructions
Wash the Potatoes
- Rinse red skin potatoes under cold water. Scrub gently to remove dirt.
Cut into Chunks
- Cut potatoes into same-size pieces. This helps them cook evenly.
Boil the Potatoes
- Put potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water and add a little salt. Boil until soft.
Drain the Potatoes
- Drain the potatoes in a colander. Let them sit for a few minutes.
Mash the Potatoes
- Use a potato masher or hand mixer. Mash until smooth but still a little chunky.
Add Butter
- Cut butter into pieces. Add to hot potatoes so it melts completely.
Mix in Cream
- Slowly pour heavy cream. Mix until soft and creamy.
Season with Salt and Pepper
- Add salt and black pepper. Mix gently so it tastes even.
Optional Milk for Extra Creaminess
- Add a little milk if you want smoother potatoes. Stir carefully to avoid lumps.
Garnish and Serve
- Chop fresh chives. Sprinkle on top. Serve hot and creamy.
Notes
- Always use red skin potatoes for best color and texture.
- Boil potatoes with skin for more flavor.
- Use a hand mixer for very smooth potatoes.
- Add roasted garlic for richer flavor.
- Replace cream with sour cream for a tangy taste.
