Parmesan Mashed Potatoes
- Cook the Potatoes:
- Place the potatoes in a medium pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Add a generous pinch of salt and continue simmering for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Prepare the Cream Mixture:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, butter, salt, and pepper. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is steaming hot, about 6 minutes.
- Mash the Potatoes:
- Once the potatoes are done, drain them and return them to the pot to dry slightly. For a smoother texture, you can run the potatoes through a food mill or potato ricer into the pot.
- Combine and Stir:
