Ingredients

  • 3 lbs yukon gold potatoes
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream warm
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • butter for garnish
  • fresh chopped parsley, dill or chives

Instructions

  • Clean and peel the potatoes. Cut into 4 pieces. Place the cut potatoes into the cooker. Pour enough water to cover the potatoes.
