Feast your eyes on this tempting image that will make you want to dive in face-first!
Now that you’re sufficiently inspired, it’s time to gather your supplies. Here’s what you’ll need to create this fluffy masterpiece:
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of potatoes (the fluffy kind, preferably Yukons)
- 1 cup of heavy cream (because why not?)
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, diced (feel free to add more, we won’t judge)
- Salt, to taste (a generous pinch is always nice)
- Pepper, to taste (add some kick if you’re feeling spicy)
- A sprinkle of garlic powder (optional, but who doesn’t love garlic?)
- Chives or parsley for garnish (look at you, fancy chef!)
Instructions
- Start by peeling those potatoes. Get rid of the skins like they wronged you.
- Chop the potatoes into small chunks – the smaller, the better to ensure even cooking. Let’s be honest; we all like our potatoes to be uniform.
- Boil those bad boys in a large pot of salted water until they’re fork-tender. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Don’t lose patience; good things come to those who wait!
- Once tender, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Let’s get that heat back on for just a minute to allow any extra moisture to evaporate. We want creamy, not soupy!
- Add in the butter first, because butter makes everything better. Let it melt into the warm potatoes – pure bliss!
- Next comes the heavy cream. Pour it in like you’re pouring liquid gold. Begin mashing with a potato masher (or for the overachievers, a ricer). Get ready for some arm workout!
- Once you’ve achieved your desired creaminess, season with salt, pepper, and that tempting garlic powder. Taste as you go; don’t be shy!
- Finally, spoon those ultra creamy mashed potatoes into a serving dish, and sprinkle with chives or parsley for that touch of sophistication!
And there you have it! A bubbling dish of Ultra Creamy Mashed Potatoes ready to be devoured. You can thank us later when you’re knee-deep in comfort food heaven!
