Ingredients:

  • 3/4 stick unsalted butter , cut into pieces
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • nigella seeds (sometimes mislabeled black onion seeds ) or caraway seeds for garnish

  3. Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle.
  4. Drain potatoes and force through ricer into a large bowl (or mixer bowl if using stand mixer). Beat in milk mixture, yolks, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper with an electric mixer at low speed until combined.
