NANNY'S MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Pour water into a saucepan. Place a large steamer basket into the saucepan over (not touching) the water, and place the potatoes into the basket.
• Bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover the pan and basket with a lid, and steam potatoes until tender in the center, about 20 minutes.
• A skewer inserted into a potato should easily pierce the center. Using tongs to hold hot potatoes, peel them, and set aside. Reserve potato cooking water.
• Place 1 cup of cream and the butter into the work bowl of a large stand mixer fitted with mixing paddle, and start the machine on low speed. Mix until the cream and butter are blended; add potatoes, and beat until thoroughly mixed.
• As potatoes mash, gradually pour in remaining cup of cream. If potatoes are too stiff, beat in reserved potato cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time. If potatoes are too runny, beat in instant mashed potato flakes, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and white pepper.

CREAMY AND TANGY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish with butter.
• Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover completely with water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 20 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes in a large bowl. Add the butter, milk, sour cream, cream cheese and some salt and pepper, then fold to combine. Transfer the potatoes to the prepared casserole dish.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the heavy cream until medium peaks form. Fold in the cheese and horseradish, and season with salt and pepper. Spread the whipped cream over the potatoes evenly to cover. Bake until the potatoes are heated through and the top is light brown, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Rest the potatoes for 10 minutes, and then serve.
