Thanksgiving is right around the corner and that means turkey and some delicious sides. So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving here’s a delicious mashed potato recipe. 

Ingredients

• 3lbs of russet or yukon gold potatoes 
• Kosher salt 
• ¾ of unsalted butter
• ½ of heavy cream 

Steps 

• Wash and peel your potatoes
• Dice your potatoes into even cubes (this helps the potatoes cook evenly) 
• Then put the potatoes into a large pot and fill it with cold water
• Bring the potatoes to a boil over high heat
• While boiling add a pinch or two of kosher salt to the water
• When the potatoes are fork tender, meaning your fork can go into the potato easily, drain the water from the potatoes 
• Put your potatoes in the same pot and let them rest for five minutes
• Then, in a saucepan or smaller pot, add your butter and heavy cream 
• Warm this over medium-low heat
• Then mash the potatoes with either a hand mixer or even a mashing tool into a bowl
• Then add your heavy cream and butter mixture to the bowl
• Mixed until completely combined and add salt on top
