Rich and velvety mashed potatoes made with cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese, finished with fresh herbs for an elegant and comforting side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (more as needed)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place peeled and chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water.
  2. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Let them sit for 1–2 minutes to evaporate excess moisture.
  4. Add butter and mash until smooth.
  5. Gradually stir in the cream and Parmesan cheese. Continue mashing or stirring until creamy and well combined.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Top with chopped fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use Yukon gold potatoes for a naturally buttery flavor and smoother texture.
  • Warm the cream before adding it to keep the potatoes hot.
  • For ultra-smooth potatoes, use a potato ricer instead of a masher.
