Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut each one in half.

Place the potatoes in cold water and add about 1.5 to 2 teaspoons of iodized table salt.

Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

Test the potatoes for tenderness by poking them with a sharp knife; they should fall off easily.

Use a ricer to process the potatoes into a mixing bowl until fluffy and smooth.

Add butter and whipping cream to the riced potatoes for flavor and creaminess.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt as needed.

Warm the serving bowl under hot water to keep the potatoes warm before serving.
