| Base: • 10 Potatoes (60 count size) | 1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and rinse the potatoes, placing them in a large heavy-bottom pot filled with cold water, ensuring the water covers the potatoes by about 3 inches. 2. Bring to Boil: Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium to maintain a gentle boil without the potatoes bouncing around. 3. Cook: Cook the potatoes for approximately 50 minutes, until they are fork-tender. |
| Cooking: • 4 oz unsalted butter • 4 cups heavy cream • 1 tablespoon kosher salt • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper sauce (Chef Greg’s homemade sauce with a blend of 14 dry and fresh chilies) | 4. Flavor the Cream: In a separate pot (double boiler or heavy-bottom pot on low heat), combine butter, heavy cream, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper sauce. 5. Heat Cream Mixture: Gently heat the mixture, being careful not to boil or scorch it. 6. Optional Flavors: For extra flavor, add Parmigiano Reggiano rind or roasted garlic. If using fresh basil, puree separately and add at the end to keep its vibrant color. |
| Cooking (continued): • Extra cream mixture (for keeping moist) | 7. Steam and Dry: Strain the cooked potatoes and allow them to steam off for 10 minutes to release excess moisture, ensuring they’re dry enough to absorb the cream mixture. |
| Garnish & Serve: • Extra cream mixture | 8. Whip the Potatoes: Place the drained potatoes into a mixer. Start mixing on low speed, gradually adding the warm cream mixture (roughly 3 oz of cream per potato). 9. Whip to Texture: Increase the speed to high for 15-20 seconds to achieve a light, whipped texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent the potatoes from becoming gluey. 10. Keep Moist: If preparing in advance, add a bit of the cream mixture to the pan before serving to keep the potatoes moist. Drizzle extra cream on top for added richness. |
| Make-Ahead: – Prepped potatoes can be kept warm | 11. Make-Ahead: These potatoes can be prepped in the morning, kept warm, and served at dinner, making them perfect for Thanksgiving! |
