Ingredients
6
medium
Yukon gold potatoes
2 -3
cups
heavy whipping cream
2-3
cups
whole milk
Kosher salt
2
lemons
zested
Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Put the whole potatoes in a large saucepan with the cream and milk.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, then add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are very tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove about 2 cups of the liquid and reserve.
Add the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Use a potato masher to break up the potatoes while adding about 1 cup of the reserved liquid, to just 'wet' the potatoes.
Add more, for desired creaminess. Spoon the potatoes into a serving bowl and serve immediately.
