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.
