2. Prepare Potatoes: While waiting for the water to boil, peel and quarter the potatoes (the size of the potatoes may vary, adjust accordingly). Place the potatoes into the boiling water and cook until they are mildly tender. The cooking time can vary, but start checking after 30 minutes. You want them to be easily pierced with a fork but not falling apart.

3. Rice or Mash Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and transfer them to a large serving bowl. Then, using a potato ricer or masher, press the potatoes until they are smooth and lump-free. The key to creamy mashed potatoes lies in this step, so take your time to ensure they are well mashed.

4. Add Butter and Seasonings: Add the butter, white pepper, and seasoning salt to the mashed potatoes.

5. Blend Ingredients: Use a whisk or hand mixer to blend the ingredients together until the potatoes are smooth and well combined with the butter and seasonings.

6. Incorporate Heavy Cream: Gradually add the heavy cream to the mashed potatoes while stirring continuously. Keep adding cream until the potatoes reach your desired consistency. The creamy texture is what makes these mashed potatoes truly exceptional, so don’t be shy with the cream!

7. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add more white pepper, garlic, or salt if desired, to suit your taste buds.

8. Optional Baking: For an extra layer of flavor and to blend the flavors beautifully, you can opt to bake the mashed potatoes in the oven. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake the mashed potatoes for about 20 minutes. This step is optional but highly recommended for an even more indulgent dish.

9. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked (if you choose this optional step) or simply prepared, serve the Best Damn Mashed Potatoes hot as a side dish alongside your favorite main course. These creamy delights are sure to be a hit at any gathering or family meal.
