Ricotta Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 2 lb. Yukon gold potatoes
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1½ c. fresh ricotta
• ½ c. whole milk
• 3 tbsp. butter
• ½ tsp. ground black pepper

Directions

1. Heat oven to broiler setting. Peel and cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and continue to cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes more. Drain and return all but 1 cup of potatoes to the pot.
2. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Stir in the ricotta, milk, butter, remaining salt, and pepper to blend. Add the reserved potatoes and mash just until combined. Spoon 1/2 cup potatoes into 10 six-ounce ramekins and set on a baking pan. Place under broiler until browned. Serve hot.
