Ingredients

• 3 Pounds (lb) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
• 0.5 Cups mascarpone cheese
• 0.5 Cups whole milk
• 0.25 Cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) chives, minced (optional for garnish)

Steps

1. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a few minutes to let excess moisture evaporate.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over low heat until warm.
4. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth.
5. Stir in the mascarpone cheese, warm milk, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
6. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a baking dish and smooth the top.
7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
8. Bake the mashed potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden.
9. Garnish with minced chives before serving, if desired.
