Ingredients

3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 pounds medium potatoes, peeled
1-1/2 teaspoons salt

Directions

In a small saucepan, heat milk and cream until warm; hold on low heat.
Meanwhile, place potatoes in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Season water with 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, until very tender, 20-25 minutes. Drain and return to pan. Stir in 8 tablespoons cubed butter and salt until butter is melted.
Add warm milk and cream mixture, a little bit at a time, to the pot with buttered potatoes; gently mash until combined. Send potato mixture through a ricer. Top with remaining 2 tablespoons butter to serve.
