Ingredients
2-1/2
lbs
Yukon Gold potatoes
,
scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1
tablespoon
olive oil
4
tablespoons
butter
2
tablespoons
minced shallots
1
tablespoon
fresh thyme leaves
1
tablespoon
fresh sage
,
very finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2
cup
light cream or half-and-half
,
more if needed
Instructions
Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, add 2 teaspoons of salt and stir to dissolve.
Boil for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a sharp knife.
Drain and return to the heat for about 1 minute to allow all the excess moisture to evaporate.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until soft and translucent, 5 to 6 minutes.
Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, then add the thyme and sage.
Stir in the cream and continue cooking for 2 minutes longer, or until the cream is heated through.
Add the cream mixture to the drained potatoes, stir to combine, then gently mash with a potato masher, adding a little more cream if needed.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, transfer to a bowl and serve immediately.
