Ingredients

• 4.5 Pounds (lb) russet potatoes, peeled
• 0.5 Cups mascarpone cheese
• 1 Whole egg yolk
• 0.75 Cups milk
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 Pinch cayenne pepper, to taste
• 1 Cups butter, divided

Steps

1. Place the potato halves into a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until very tender, about 15 minutes. A knife should pierce the middle of a potato half easily. Transfer potatoes to a colander and drain thoroughly, about 5 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
3. Whisk the mascarpone cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the egg yolk and milk, whisking until smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
4. Transfer the potatoes to a separate large mixing bowl. Add butter chunks to the potatoes and season with salt and black pepper. Mash the butter into the potatoes with a potato masher until fluffy; a few lumps are okay. Whisk the mascarpone mixture into the mashed potatoes.
5. Spread the mashed potatoes into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Smooth the top and use the tip of a spatula to lightly press the potatoes and lift up to create little peaks and valleys on the top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are heated through and the top is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
