Instructions
In a large pot, add in your quartered potatoes and cover them with 1 to 2 inches of cold water and then season generously with salt.
Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they can easily be pierced with a fork, about 20-25 minutes. Once cooked, drain the potatoes.
Add your heavy cream to a small saucepan and bring it to a boil (*see note).
Meanwhile, while you are waiting for your cream to boil, press your potatoes through a potato ricer (*see note).
Immediately add in ⅓ portion of the hot heavy cream and the first 3 tablespoons of butter and mix it into the potatoes. Repeat this process 2 more times with the remaining heavy cream, mixing until the butter is melted and everything is well incorporated.
Taste your potatoes and add salt as needed. Top with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
Notes
Peeling your potatoes is optional, but they are much easier to run through your ricer if peeled.
Use 1 tablespoon of salt in your water per each 1 pound of potatoes being boiled for any mashed potatoes recipe to add flavor.
