How to Make Apple Mashed Potatoes

  1. Peel and cube 2 lbs of Yukon Gold potatoes. Place in a large saucepan and cover with salted boiling water. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. While the potatoes cook, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 minced shallot and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add 2 diced apples to the saucepan with the shallot. Cook until apples are very tender, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly.
  5. Add the cooked apples and shallot mixture to the drained potatoes.
  6. Roughly mash the potato and apple mixture with a potato masher. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and use an electric mixer to create a smooth puree. Add the heavy cream and nutmeg, mixing until well combined.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
