  1. Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks. Place in a large pot or Dutch oven and pour in just enough water to cover the potatoes.

  3. Drain and allow to steam for 10 minutes.  
  4. In a large saucepan, melt a few tablespoons of butter, honey, cream and a fresh thyme together. Bring to a simmer then remove from the heat and allow to infuse.
  5. Blend/mash the potatoes until smooth then add the butter mixture (strain out the thyme). Stir until smooth.
  6. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon into a bowl and top with a knob of butter and a few fresh thyme leaves.
