Yukon Gold Smashed Potatoes

3-4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (skins on)
1 tablespoon Kosher salt
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup cream
2 tablespoons of milk if needed
salt and pepper to taste

Wash potatoes and slice in half.  Put potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by one inch.  Cover with lid and  heat over high heat until boil, lower heat to medium and boil until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes once boiling is reached.

Once tender, drain, and return to pot.  Add butter to potatoes and smash with potato masher until butter is melted.  Add cream and continue to smash until desired consistency is reached.  If too thick, add milk by about 1 tablespoon until desired consistency.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
