Ingredients
- 5 lbs. russet or Yukon potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, warmed
- ¾ cup sour cream, room temperature
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and then turn down to keep at a high simmer. Cook potatoes until fork tender, about thirty minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Drain potatoes and return to pot, heat on low for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring slightly. Remove potatoes from heat and push through a ricer into a large bowl.
- Transfer the potatoes to the bowl of a stand mixer and add the melted butter, sour cream, and heavy cream. Whip on medium-high to high for two to five minutes or until potatoes are mostly smooth and creamy. Don't over-mix. Add salt and pepper to taste.
