Optional to Serve

Instructions
5 lb Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into even 2 inch sized pieces
Cover with cold water in a large saucepan.
1 tsp Sea Salt
Season the water with half the sea salt (more if you like heavily seasoned potatoes)
Bring the pan to a boil then cook for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are completely tender and a butter knife moves easily through them.
Drain then potatoes in a strainer and let them sit for a minute or two to get rid of some of the steam/moisture.
1 stick Unsalted Butter | 1 cup Heavy Cream (Double Cream)
Meanwhile in a small saucepan warm the butter and cream on the stove until the butter melts.
Transfer the potatoes to a KitchenAid bowl (or other stand mixer).
Slowly pour in the butter and cream mixture whilst mixing on a low to medium speed.
1 tsp Sea Salt
Add the remaining salt slowly.
Keep mixing until the potatoes are completely mashed and smooth - around 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl periodically with a spatula if necessary.
Sea Salt
Taste and add more salt if you think it's necessary.
