    Making the mashed potatoes: First, peel, wash then slice the potatoes.

    In a large pot filled with salted water, cook the potatoes until they become soft.

    After that, take the potatoes out of the water, then put them in a colander to drain.

    Transfer the potatoes into a bowl and mash them.

    Now, add butter, heavy cream, milk, eggs, salt and pepper to the mashed potatoes and mix well until combined.
