Mashed Potatoes, Kind of Robuchon-Style

by

Directions

  1. Ingredients to make Robuchon-style mashed potatoes

    Gather the ingredients.

  2. A large pot of peeled potatoes boiling in salted water

    In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. A colander with peeled, boiled potatoes

    Drain well and let stand in a colander for 3 minutes.

  4. A hand closing a ricer over a large pot of riced potatoes

    Pass the potatoes through a ricer into the large saucepan.

  5. A large pot of creamy potatoes being stirred with a wooden spoon

    Cook over moderate heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the potatoes are hot and steam starts to rise, about 2 minutes; they’ll start to stick to the bottom of the pan.

  6. A pot of buttery, smooth mashed potatoes being stirred with a wooden spoon

    Add one-fourth of the butter cubes at a time, stirring constantly until incorporated. Stir in the heavy cream and season generously with salt. Serve right away.
