4 servings
- 2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 ½-inch chunks
- 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more for the cooking water
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For serving
- 2 tbsp scallion green tops, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of 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. Drain well in a colander and return the potatoes to the hot pot.

While the potatoes cook, combine the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by about half and coats the back of a spoon, 4–5 minutes. Remove from heat.
