Step 1

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes longer.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and press through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the butter, cream, and milk in a small pot over low heat until simmering.

Step 4

Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Garnish with chives, if desired.

Step 6

Note: A potato ricer gives these potatoes a super fluffy texture, but you can use a hand masher if you don’t own one.

Step 7

Enjoy!
