Ingredients

  • 6 pounds red potatoes washed, peeled, quartered
  • 2 recipes cowboy butter, a total of 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120 g) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Add the potatoes to a large pot of salted water. Ensure there is enough water to cover the potatoes.
  • Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
  • Once the water is boiling, uncover and reduce the heat to medium-high. Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Remove from heat.
  • Lightly mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork.
  • Stir in most of the cowboy butter (reserving ¼ cup for topping) and cream, mashing until fully incorporated.
