Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream, warmed
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Potatoes
    Place potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Drain completely and return to the pot.
  • Mash Until Smooth
    Mash using a potato masher or ricer. Keep them light and fluffy without overmixing.
  • Add Butter and Mascarpone
    Stir in butter and mascarpone while potatoes are still hot. Mix gently until smooth and creamy.
  • Adjust Consistency
    Add warm milk or cream slowly until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Season and Serve
    Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Bring mascarpone to room temperature to blend smoothly.
  • Warm milk prevents thick or gummy texture.
  • Yukon Gold potatoes add natural buttery flavor.
  • Add roasted garlic for a deeper taste.
  • Mix gently to avoid gluey potatoes.
