Chantilly potatoes are French style mashed potato that get its name from the cream used. Chantilly cream is used in traditional Chantilly potatoes. They are light, creamy and full of flavor.
The main difference between these potatoes and regular American mashed potatoes is you press your softened Chantilly potatoes through a ricer. The added whipped cream and cheese is also unique to Chantilly potatoes.
Yukon gold potatoes are the best potatoes for this recipe. They are a softer potato and give this dish a light, fluffy texture.

The potatoes are traditionally made with Chantilly cream or creme de Chantilly. That is not a common cream in the United States, so heavy cream is used instead. It’s a great substitute and gives these potatoes a light texture.

Tips!
- A potato ricer is a great tool and the perfect tool for this recipe – it makes the potatoes perfectly creamy and smooth. If you don’t have a ricer use a potato masher; the potatoes will still be delicious, just not as creamy.
- Use a hand held mixer or your stand mixer to whip the heavy cream. This will produce a fluffy cream that can then be added to the potatoes.
- Fresh Parmesan cheese is best. I suggest grabbing a block from the store and grating it before you add it to your Chantilly potatoes.
The heavy cream is whipped until peaks form and then folded into the riced potatoes. This helps keep the potatoes light. Part of the whipped cream is mixed together with the cheese to create a truly decadent topping to these potatoes.
