This is a standard with a nod to two pretty good TV Chefs, Anne Burrell and Emeril Lagasse:
5 lbs. russet potatoes, peeled
Buncha’ salt
1 stick of real butter
1 pint of heavy cream
1 tbsp. crushed rosemary
1 tbsp. granulated garlic
Final S&P to taste
Cut the peeled russets into approximately 1 inch chunks. Fill a large sauce pot, or stock pot, with cold water and enough salt to make it taste like the ocean (thanks, Anne). Add the potatoes, bring to boil, and cook until fork tender. Drain and return to pot.
Now it’s up to you. I prefer hand smashed over “whipped” but that’s partially due the fact that I don’t have a mixer.
Cut the butter into approximately 1 tbsp. pieces and add to the potatoes as they are being smashed, add in about ¾ of the cream and continue mashing, after all, somebody’s gotta keep those dairy farmers in business (right, Emeril).
Add in the other spices and stir with heavy spoon. Add the some of the remaining cream, if needed, to bring the potatoes to your desired consistency.
This recipe will mostly fill a foil half steam table pan for easy travel and can be reheated in low oven if dinner's delayed. Plus there's no cleanup at the party.

THOSE would make a fine filling for pirogues, an Elvis type sammich - and my belly!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
Look GREAT Big Dawg!

Recipe sounds great and the taters look good. ;)

Oh yeah! Sour cream, Chives, parm cheese.....it's all good! Salting the water is crucial.....same with dry pasta. Better make some gravy for Hub

Bill I knew that this would be good when I saw Artery Clogging! ;D

Plate me up - those are fine looking taters. I like mine hand smashed as well. I'll take a double helping with some butter and paprika!

I'll take a bowlful of them taters, please.

I use buttermilk, sour cream, lightly sauted onions, and don't peel the taters--two reasons: lazy and nutrition(I think). Dee

This works great with Yukon Gold potatoes also! Been doing this for years (wife found the recipe, but I don't know where).

If I'm using thinner skinned potatoes (like Yukons or reds) I don't bother peeling them. That goes for potato salads as well.
I do like the skins and eat them when baking the russetts.
