Natalie's Creamy Irish Mash

Begin by submerging the potatoes in a large container filled with salted water, then place it on high heat to reach a rolling boil. Once boiling, decrease the heat to a moderate level and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes or until they become tender. Remove the potatoes from the water using a strainer and drain off any excess liquid.

Next, transfer the cooked potatoes to a bowl and use a masher or an electric mixer on a low setting to break down the potatoes until they reach a smooth consistency.

In a separate small saucepan, combine butter and half-and-half over medium heat. Allow the mixture to warm up and melt the butter, taking around 3-5 minutes.

Now, take the melted butter mixture and blend it into the mashed potatoes using a masher or an electric mixer until they become light, fluffy, and evenly combined.

Finally, add a small amount of half-and-half at a time - approximately 1 tablespoon each time - to the mashed potatoes, stirring continuously until you achieve your desired level of creaminess.
