Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water by 1 inch. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the potatoes are fork-tender but still hold their shape. (Approximately 10 minutes)

02

Step

Return the drained potatoes to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until any excess liquid has evaporated and the potatoes appear dry. (Approximately 1 minute)

03

Step

Process the hot potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl to ensure a lump-free consistency.

04

Step

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the half-and-half and butter over medium-low heat until warmed and the butter is completely melted. (Approximately 3 minutes)

05

Step

Gradually pour the warm half-and-half mixture into the riced potatoes, stirring gently to incorporate. Season with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and the freshly ground black pepper.

06

Step

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.

For an even smoother texture, consider using a potato ricer instead of a masher.
Adjust the amount of half-and-half to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt and pepper to your preference.
For a richer flavor, try using whole milk or heavy cream instead of half-and-half.
