List of Ingredients



• 2 lbs. russet potatoes (about 5), peeled and cut into quarters
  
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 1/2 cup half-and-half
  
• 1/2 cup milk
  
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
  
• 1/2 tsp fresh-ground pepper
  






Instructions



1. Bring the potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and enough water to cover to a boil in a large saucepan. Cook the potatoes until just tender -- about 20 minutes.
   
   
2. Drain the potatoes, return them to the saucepan, and use a potato masher or a fork to mash them slightly. Stir in the half-and-half, milk, butter, remaining salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
   
   Makes about 10 half-cup servings.
