Instructions

  • Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 12–15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
  • Drain well and return the potatoes to the warm pot for 1–2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, combine the heavy cream, butter, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and heated through. Do not boil.
  • Transfer the cooked potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the warm cream mixture. Mash with a potato masher until smooth and creamy or use a hand mixer on low speed for an extra-light texture. Fold in caramelized onions and fresh thyme to finish.
