Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. of russet potatoes washed & unpeeled
- 1 1/2 lbs. of red potatoes washed & unpeeled
- 1 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 c. unsalted butter
- 1 c. heavy cream
- 1/2 c. sour cream
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
Instructions
-
Largely dice the potatoes. Place potatoes and 1 tbsp. salt in a 4-quart saucepan with cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 25-35 minutes, until the potatoes are completely tender (the easiest way to test if they are ready is to pierce with a fork). Drain.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter. Put the potatoes in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix them for a few seconds on low speed to break them up.
-
Slowly add the hot cream and butter to the potatoes, mixing on the lowest speed.
-
Fold in the sour cream and remaining salt and pepper; taste for seasoning and serve immediately. If the potatoes are too thick, add more hot cream and butter.
