- 1 stick butter
- 1/4–1/2 cup heavy cream or whole milk

Instructions

- Bring to a boil and cook until very soft but not falling apart. Check often by piercing a potato with a fork to check.
- Prepare the mixing bowl by running very hot water in the bowl. You want the bowl to be heated.
- Once cooked, drain and return to the same pot and put back on the burner for a few seconds, shaking the pot to ensure all the moisture is evaporated.
- While still hot, rice the potatoes into the mixing bowl that has been heated.
- Add the melted butter and warmed heavy cream or milk, salt, and mix well with a stand or hand mixer.
- Add more melted butter or warmed cream as needed for the consistency you prefer. Serve immediately or can be reheated.
