Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes

Yukon gold potatoes

kosher salt, (divided)

milk ((whatever kind you keep on hand))

cream

butter, (softened)

sour cream ((buttermilk can be substituted))

black pepper

Fill a large pot with cold water and add about 3 1/2 tablespoons of salt.

Add the potatoes (unpeeled) to the pot and place it over medium-high heat (covered) until it comes to a simmer.

While the potatoes are cooking, warm the milk and cream in a small pot over low heat.

Simmer the potatoes until very tender but not waterlogged or crumbly (approx. 30 to 40 minutes), drain, and return to the heated pot to dry.

Pass the hot potatoes and softened butter through a ricer (alternating potatoes and butter so the butter melts over each layer of riced potato), removing the potato skins in the process (see video).

Toss the riced potatoes together with the butter, allowing the fat to cover every particle of potato.

Pour in the hot milk &amp; cream mixture, add the sour cream, and season with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the pepper.

Stir the mashed potatoes until all the liquid is incorporated.

Mashed potatoes can be kept warm in a crockpot (if serving later the same day) OR refrigerated for up to 2 days.  To reheat, place them in a large pot over medium-low heat, stirring constantly and adding additional milk/cream as needed to achieve the desired consistency.

Cover the pot and place over high heat to bring to a boil. Once boiling, uncover the pot and add 3 tsp of salt. Reduce to a simmer and let it bubble for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.

While the potatoes boil, make the pimento butter. Add all of the ingredients to a food processor and pulse until the peppers are well distributed and the butter has a light orange color.

When the potatoes are ready, turn off the heat and drain in a colander. Let the potatoes rest there for 5 minutes, then transfer back to the pot and give them a rough mash.

To serve, sprinkle the top of the potatoes with a small pinch of pepper flakes (if desired). Then, melt the remaining pimento butter and either drizzle it on top or leave it off to the side for everyone to add their desired amount. Enjoy!
