instructions
    1

    Begin by peeling and cutting the potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place them into a large pot and cover them with cold water.

    2

    Add salt and bring the water to a boil. Cook the potatoes for about 20 minutes until they're tender when pierced with a fork.

    3

    Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth using a potato masher or ricer.

    4

    In a separate saucepan, heat the cream and butter together over low heat until the butter has melted.

    5

    Gradually stir the warm cream mixture into the mashed potatoes until fully incorporated and creamy.

    6

    Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, then mix in the grated Parmesan cheese.
