One of the keys to fluffy spuds is returning the cooked potatoes to the warm, dry pan you cooked them in for mashing. Ingredients:
2 pounds medium potatoes, peeled and quartered (we tested with yukon gold) |
1/4 cup butter or margarine |
1/2 cup whipping cream |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook potato in boiling water to cover 20 to 25 minutes or until very tender. Drain well, and return potato to pan. Add butter, and mash until butter melts, using a potato masher. Add cream, salt, and pepper; mash to desired texture.
2. Solid Gold:
3. If you're unfamiliar with Yukon gold potatoes, there's a reason. Yukon golds are relatively new to North America; they were first introduced in 1980 ... lucky for us!
4. Yukon gold potatoes are a yellow-fleshed potato, known for their buttery flavor and creamy texture. Quite versatile, they can be used for baking, broiling, or frying-but we particularly like them mashed.
