The Best Mashed Potatoes

The Best Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 8 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk, more if needed
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
• 4 tablespoons Mascarpone cheese
• kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
• freshly chopped chives

Instructions

1. Peel and dice potatoes, making sure all are in about 1 inch cubes.
2. Place in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce heat to medium low to maintain a rolling boil. Cook until potatoes are fork tender and you can easily pierce them with a fork when touched.
3. Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain off the water. Place the diced potatoes through a ricer and then place back into the warm pot. Add the cream, butter, Parmesan, mascarpone and stir to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper and fold in the chopped chives
