Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Truffle oil (high quality)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water.
- Bring the water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes well and return them to the hot, empty pot over low heat for one minute to dry out any excess moisture.
- Heat the heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan until the butter is melted. Do not boil.
- Remove the potatoes from the heat. Mash the potatoes until mostly smooth.
- Gradually add the warm cream and butter mixture to the potatoes, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and the truffle oil.
- Season generously with salt and black pepper to your taste.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a potato ricer for the fluffiest texture, though a hand masher works fine.
- For a stronger truffle flavor, add a small amount of finely minced fresh black truffle, if available.
- Warm your dairy ingredients; cold cream can make your potatoes gluey.
