3lbsYukon gold potatoesscrubbed, peeled and cut into even cubes
¾cupmayonnaise
4tablespoonsalted butter
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Bring the potatoes to boil and cook until fork tender, about 12 minutes.
Drain and return the potatoes to the hot pan or a warmed bowl with deep sides.
Mash the potatoes a bit by pressing on them with the mixers from your hand mixer (they should pretty much squish under the pressure).
Add the mayonnaise and butter and whip.
Mix on low until almost all of the large clumps are gone.
Turn the speed up a bit and knock out the rest of those lumps. Turn the speed gradually up higher and whip the potatoes until light and fluffy. Add more mayo if needed, depending on the moisture content.
