- Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 1 inch. Add salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are very tender, but not saturated or crumbly, 20–25 minutes.
- stir
- Drain potatoes, reserving ½ cup cooking liquid if making potatoes ahead. Return potatoes to pot and set over low heat. Gently stir until dry, about 1-2 minutes or until moisture is gone.
- melt
- In the meantime, heat milk, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, garlic, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat.
- mash
- Pass hot potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl. Do this while they are hot; if allowed to cool, the potatoes will become gummy. If not using a ricer, transfer to an electric mixer with paddle attachment and blend until desired consistency is reached.
- mix
- Remove herbs from warm milk mixture and discard. Gradually add milk mixture to potatoes, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon or paddle attachment until combined and smooth.
- serve
- Season with salt and pepper. Serve with pats of butter on top and chives if desired. Enjoy!

- Rinse and peel the potatoes. I leave small potatoes whole, but chop any larger potatoes to be the same size as your smallest ones.
- Place the potatoes in the bottom of a large pot. Fill with cold water, add 3 teaspoons salt, and then place the pot on the stove over high heat. Cover and bring to a boil. Boil for 18-22 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the potato.
- Drain the potatoes then return the pot to low heat. Add the potatoes back to the pan and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute to allow the potatoes dry. Roughly mash the potatoes using a potato masher or two forks, then transfer them to the bowl of an electric mixer or keep the potatoes in the pot and use handheld beaters.
- Heat the milk in another sauce pan or in the microwave until hot, but not boiling.
- Use the whisk attachment to blend the potatoes on medium speed. Scrape the bowl, then add the butter, a few Tablespoons at a time, blending until melted. Add the hot milk and continue to beat on low speed until absorbed. Turn the speed up to medium high and blend until smooth. Season to taste with additional salt. Serve with a pat of butter on top and fresh parsley, if desired.

- To Cook the Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the potatoes and cut them into 2-inch chunks. This doesn’t have to be perfect but try your best to get them to be uniform in size. This will help with even cooking!
- Add the potatoes to a Dutch oven or medium pot and cover them with cold water and add a few liberal pinches of kosher salt. Place the pot over medium-high and cook the potatoes for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender. You don't want to cook them too much or else they'll be water-logged.
- Drain the potatoes in colander and allow them to dry off a bit, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- To Warm Up the Cream Mixture:
- In a small saucepan, add the heavy cream and butter. Warm over medium-low heat until the butter has melted. Smash the garlic cloves and add them to the heavy cream mixture. Allow to steep for about 10 minutes. I like to do this step while the potatoes are cooking.
- To Rice the Potatoes:
- In batches, add a few spoonful of potatoes to the potato ricer and press, adding the riced potatoes back to the pot. Repeat until you work your way through the boiled potatoes.
- Pour in the warm heavy cream/butter mixture, a few pinches of salt and the crème fraîche or sour cream; mix until fully combined. It might seem like too much liquid at first but keep mixing (don't overmix them!) until just combined. Give it a taste and adjust the salt according to your liking.
- If needed, you can rewarm the potatoes on low-heat. When you're ready to serve the potatoes, add them to a serving bowl and pour more melted butter on top, along with a few cracks of black pepper and fresh chives.
- How to Reheat:
- If you want to make this ahead, you can make the potatoes, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To reheat them, add a few tablespoons of heavy cream to the bottom of a medium-sized pot and place it over medium-low heat. Add the cold potatoes and cover the pot. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes and then stir them. Cover the pot again and allow to warm up for about 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat until the potatoes are warm.
- You can also microwave them lol.
