Ingredients:
🥔 2 pounds russet potatoes
🥛 1 cup half and half
🧈 3 tbsp butter
🧂 Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Start by meticulously cleaning, peeling, and cutting the potatoes into pieces of equal size to ensure uniform cooking.
- Submerge the chopped potatoes in a large pot filled with cold, salted water. This initial salting is pivotal for flavor penetration.
- Elevate the heat to bring the pot to a vigorous boil. Maintain this bubbling cauldron for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes yield easily when confronted with a fork.
- Once tender, drain the potatoes thoroughly, evicting any residual water, and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
- In a safe dish appropriate for the microwave, combine the half and half with butter, then heat until the butter relinquishes into a velvety melt.
- Gradually merge the warmed dairy into the potatoes, utilizing a steady hand to beat the mixture. With each addition, gauge the consistency and season the blend with prudent pinches of salt and pepper.
