This Famous Buttery Mashed Potatoes Recipe Honors Two Chefs

Losing one acclaimed chef would be bad enough, but we lost two prominent chefs recently. The passings of Joël Robuchon and Anthony Bourdain were tragic. The two famous chefs will always be missed. I thought I'd honor both of them with this famous mashed potatoes recipe. 

Here is Food and Wine Magazine’s publishing of Michelin-starred chef Joël Robuchon's buttery mashed potatoes he is so famous for – through the eyes of Anthony Bourdain. These are the simple, low-sodium ingredients you need in order to make these sensational mashed potatoes: potatoes, butter (lots) and heavy cream. That's it!

Serve this buttery mashed potatoes recipe with chicken, pork, beef or lamb. This will be your new favorite way to make mashed potatoes. And, every time you make this gluten-free recipe, you can think of the amazing chefs behind this sensational side dish!

Recipe Notes

  • If you don't have Yukon Gold potatoes, you can use other large potatoes. 
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Here’s how to make it:

  1. In a large pot, cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil with 2 tablespoons of salt. Simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let stand in a colander for 3 minutes.
  2. Pass the potatoes through a ricer into the large pot. Cook over moderate heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the potatoes are hot and steam starts to rise, about 2 minutes (they’ll begin to stick to the bottom of the pot).
  3. Add one-fourth of the butter at a time, stirring constantly, until incorporated.
  4. Stir in the cream and season generously with salt. Serve with your favorite proteins.
