Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into uniform chunks.

Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and add a generous pinch of salt to the water.

Reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.

Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a minute.

In a mixing bowl, add the drained potatoes and begin mashing them.

Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream to the mashed potatoes.

Season your mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to your liking.

Transfer the creamy mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and serve warm.
