A super simple technique makes all the difference - get wonderfully creamy mashed potatoes each and every time.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (peeled and cut into large chunks)
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• ¾ cup half-and-half
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.
2. 2Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are very tender.
3. 3Meanwhile, heat the butter and half-and-half in a small saucepan over low heat.
4. 4Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Mash up the potatoes a little with a potato masher. Add the melted butter mixture a little at a time and use the potato masher to combine.
