If you're looking for a classic side dish that's sure to please everyone at the table, look no further than creamy mashed potatoes. This easy recipe is a staple at family gatherings, potlucks, and holiday feasts alike, and it's easy to see why.
Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
To get started, peel and chop your potatoes into small pieces. This will help them cook faster and more evenly. Then, place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, which should take about 15-20 minutes.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the heavy cream and butter and use a potato masher or hand mixer to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
These creamy mashed potatoes are the perfect side dish for any meal. Serve them alongside your favorite meat, vegetables, or salad for a hearty and satisfying meal. They're also great for leftovers, so make a big batch and enjoy them for days to come.
