Is there anything more satisfying than a scoop of mashed potatoes? Smooth and creamy, these mashed potatoes make the perfect nest for turkey gravy, a pat of butter, or a sprinkle of chives.
Halve the potatoes lengthwise and divide each half into quarters or thirds. Take care to cut the pieces into roughly the same size so they will cook evenly.
To make one day ahead, cover the mashed potatoes tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. To serve, warm them gently in a pot or saucepan with additional warm cream and butter.
