🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions:
Cook the Potatoes Perfectly
Peel and cube the potatoes evenly. Boil in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
Remove Excess Moisture
Drain well, then return to the hot pot for 1 minute to evaporate extra water. (This prevents a soggy mash!)
Mash Like a Pro
Use a potato masher or ricer—never a blender (it makes them gummy!).
Add Butter First
Mix in butter gradually, letting it melt into the potatoes for a rich, velvety base.
Pour in Hot Heavy Cream
Slowly stir in the cream until you get a luxuriously smooth consistency.
Season & Elevate
Adjust salt, add a pinch of nutmeg, or top with fresh herbs for extra flair.
