Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into smaller, evenly sized pieces.

Place the potato pieces in a large pot of boiling water and cook until tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.

Once the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot.

Pour the infused melted butter mixture over the potatoes.

4. Add Cream and Butter:

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork until they reach your desired consistency.

Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and heavy cream to the mashed potatoes, then continue to mash and mix until smooth and creamy.

5. Season to Perfection:

Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
