Ingredients

  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for topping
  • 1½ cups heavy cream, warmed slightly
  • 3 tablespoons Truffle Parmesan seasoning blend (or ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese and ¼½ teaspoon truffle powder)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Parsley or chives, finely chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peeled and cubed Yukon Gold potatoes. Boil for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  2. Drain the potatoes thoroughly, then rice them into a large mixing bowl while still hot.
  3. Add the butter, warm heavy cream, and Truffle Parmesan seasoning blend to the riced potatoes. Stir gently until smooth and creamy.
  4. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Add more cream if needed for a softer texture.
  5. Transfer to a serving dish, top with a pat of butter, and garnish with chopped parsley or chives. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best creamy texture and buttery flavor.
  • Don’t overmix to avoid gluey mashed potatoes—use a ricer or gentle hand-mashing.
  • Warm cream blends more smoothly into the potatoes.
  • Make ahead: Boil and rice potatoes in advance, then reheat with butter and cream.
  • Substitute truffle blend with Parmesan and a touch of truffle oil or powder.
