Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • ½ cup heavy cream or whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons Mascarpone cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • freshly chopped chives

Equipment

  • large pot
  • ricer or masher

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Peel and dice potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Place diced potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until fork-tender.
  3. Drain the cooked potatoes and either pass them through a ricer or mash them thoroughly before returning to the warm pot.
  4. Stir in cream, butter, Parmesan, mascarpone, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in chives before serving.

Notes

For extra fluffy potatoes, ensure they are thoroughly drained before ricing or mashing. Adjust salt and pepper to your preference, and feel free to add more cream for a looser consistency.
