Ingredients

  • 6 large russet potatoes peeled and quartered
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • water
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream or milk warmed slightly, optional
  • 1 egg
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large pot, pour in chicken broth, add potatoes, and pour in enough water to be about an inch above the potatoes. Add about a tablespoon of salt. Bring pot to a boil over high heat, and boil for 20-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. You will know when you can stick a fork in the potatoes, they will be soft and won't stick to the fork. Drain.
  • Use a potato ricer to rice the potatoes into a large bowl, then add butter and cream, stir in well. Add egg, and mix to incorporate completely.
  • Season well with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add garlic powder, paprika, whatever spices you like in your normal mashed potatoes.
  • Serve hot, these also reheat very well.
