Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 ounces unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and cut into uniform 1/2-inch pieces. Place into a 4-quart saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1-inch. Cover, set over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove the lid, decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the potatoes can easily be crushed with a pair of tongs, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander.
  • Put the cream, butter, salt and pepper into the now empty 4-quart saucepan and place back over the heat until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat and set a food mill fitted with the smallest die, on top of the pot. Add 1 cup of potatoes at a time to the mill. Once all of the potatoes have passed through the mill, stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Serve immediately.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) butter, plus more for topping
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 to 3/4 cup half-and-half
1/2 to 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, such as Lawry's
1/2 to 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces that are generally the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. (When they're cooked through a fork should easily slide into the potatoes with no resistance, and the potatoes should almost, but not totally, fall apart.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, allowing all the steam to escape before adding in all the other ingredients.
  • Turn off the heat and add the butter, cream cheese and about 1/2 cup of half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Next, add about 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well, and then taste and add more half-and-half, seasoning salt and pepper if needed.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a medium-sized baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place in the oven until the butter is melted and the potatoes are warmed through.

BEST EVER CREAMY MASHED POTATOES



Best ever creamy mashed potatoes image

Make everyone's favourite side dish, creamy mashed potatoes. This simple recipe results in fluffy, comforting mash that the whole family will love

Provided by Georgina Kiely - Digital food editor, bbcgoodfood.com

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 kg floury potatoes (like Maris Piper), cut into chunks
50g Yeo Valley Organic salted butter, plus 1 tbsp
50g whole milk

Steps:

  • Tip the potatoes into a large pan, cover with cold water and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt. Set the pan over a high heat and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are very tender - they should be able to be easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain well, then return to the pan and leave to steam-dry for 5 mins.
  • Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl for a lump-free mash (you may need to do this in batches). Alternatively, mash with a potato masher until smooth, then press through a sieve using the back of a spoon to get rid of any remaining lumps.
  • Tip the 50g Yeo Valley Organic salted butter, the milk and some seasoning into the bowl with the hot mash. Beat everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a splash more milk to loosen, if needed. Top with the remaining 1 tbsp butter and leave it to melt for a few seconds before serving.
