Step 1

Rinse potatoes with water and cut into 2 inch pieces. You can peel the potatoes, if you prefer, but you do not need to peel them if using Yukon gold potatoes.

Step 2

Add potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt to a large pot and cover with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a medium boil, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Potatoes are tender when a knife (or fork) easily goes through the potatoes.

Step 3

Pour potatoes into a colander to drain the water. Add potatoes back into the same pot.

Step 4

Using a potato masher quickly mash the potatoes. Add the butter and continue to mash until the butter is melted.

Step 5

Then add the heavy cream, a little at a time, and continue to mix with the masher. Taste potatoes and season with salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Step 6

Serve warm with your favorite meal, garnished with chives and extra butter, if desired.
