Ingredients
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 7 oz basil pesto
Instructions
- Add potatoes to a large pot. Fill with cold water. Make sure the water covers the potatoes completely. Season with salt. Bring the potatoes to a rolling boil. Continue to boil until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 18-20 minutes.
- Drain potatoes in a colander. Let them dry for a few minutes. While the potatoes are still hot, and working in batches, pass the potatoes through a ricer and back into the pot you cooked the potatoes in.
- Once all the potatoes are riced, add the heavy cream, salt, and half of the pesto. Use a hand mixer to mix the potatoes just until they are whipped and all the ingredients are incorporated. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Just before serving, while the potatoes are hot. Fold in the rest of the pesto so there are ribbons of pesto throughout the potatoes.
Notes
- If you like your potatoes are the thinner side, add another 1/4 cup of heavy cream.
- If you want to make these potatoes ahead of time, make them up until you swirl the pesto in. Cool and store in an airtight container or in the pot you made the potatoes in. When you're ready to serve, gently re-heat the potatoes over a medium-low heat, stir every minute or so until they are hot. Fold in the pesto as instructed.
