I made a variation on the Pomme Purée from Chef Steps and it was indeed really good. I have to admit I reduced the amount of butter, though!  

 

After I made them I found this quote in another thread and laughed out loud:  "..the amount of butter Robuchon uses is up to half the weight of the potatoes. No, I'm not kidding. Obviously you'll use less (everyone does)."   I don't think anyone can fully appreciate that unless they have made the recipe and struggled with the prospect of using so much butter.
