Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 4 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • finely minced chives, for garnish

Method

  • If you like your mashed potatoes without peels, peel the potatoes. Otherwise, just wash well.
  • Cut into quarters and place in a large pot of generously salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 25-30 minutes total.
  • Turn out of the pot into a colander, and leave for a few minutes to drain completely. Hang onto the warm pot, though!
  • Return the potatoes to the pot, add the mascarpone and the melted butter, and use a potato masher to combine. Keep mashing until the potatoes are the consistency you like. Add more cheese/butter as needed.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve, garnished with chives.
