Mashed Potatoes

The ultimate happy comfort food.  I could eat potatoes all the time. It's so easy when you're in a pinch to grab that box and mix it up, but these are easy enough too.  It takes just a little bit of extra time to peel and boil, but oh so worth it. 

Ingredients: 

  • 4.5lb of potatoes (I use russet, but yukon gold are good too)

  • 1 stick of butter

  • 2 cups of heavy cream

  • 2tbsp of salt (while boiling)

  • 1/2 tsp salt when you mix it up

  • 1/2 tsp pepper
