- 1 tbsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ tsp white pepper
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add 1 tbsp kosher salt and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer. Cook until the potatoes are completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, 18–22 minutes.

While the potatoes cook, combine the butter and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat and keep warm.
