Perfect Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered length-wise
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 4 Tbsp heavy cream
* 2 Tbsp butter
* 1 Tbsp milk
* Salt and Pepper
* A potato masher

Directions

1. 1 Put potatoes into a saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add water until potatoes are covered. 
Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15-20 minutes, or until done - a fork can easily 
be poked through them.
2. 2 Warm cream and melt butter, together, either in microwave or in a pan on the stove. Drain 
water from potatoes. Put hot potatoes into a bowl. Add cream and melted butter. Use potato 
masher to mash potatoes until well mashed. Use a strong spoon to beat further, adding milk to 
achieve the consistency you desire. (Do not over-beat or your potatoes will get gluey.) Salt and 
pepper to taste.
