The Only Mashed Potato Recipe You'll EVER Need! | Potato Puree Recipe

To make the best mashed potatoes, start by cutting 4 potatoes into equal‑sized pieces and boiling them in cold water with a teaspoon of salt. Cook over high heat until boiling, then reduce to medium‑low and simmer for about 25 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Drain and mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher. Warm the mash for about 40 seconds to soften it, then stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 4 tablespoons of cream. Season with salt and a teaspoon of black pepper to taste, and serve.
