Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Only for people who like really rich, creamy mashed potatoes. More of a method than a recipe.
Ingredients
- Potatoes, peeled: about 1/4 lb per person
- Heavy cream
- Butter
- Plenty of salt
Directions
- Boil the peeled potatoes until very well cooked and breaking apart easily, then drain.
- Whip slowly with an electric mixer. Don't whip fast or you'll end up with glue.
- Add heavy cream until the potatoes start to look creamy, then add small chunks of butter until the flavor is to your liking.
- Finish with plenty of salt and enough cream to make them as creamy as you like.
To quote Alton Brown, great mashed potatoes hate recipes. I lost my exact measurements years ago, but this is the general idea. — Nathan
