Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the potatoes and cook for 20 minutes or until tender.
- Drain the potatoes and add them back to the pot.
- Place the butter and garlic in a small bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments until butter is melted.
- Add the melted garlic butter, cream cheese and milk to the pot of potatoes.
- Mash the potatoes until they're smooth and creamy. Stir in the salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley or chives, then serve. Garnish with additional butter if desired.
Notes
- The easiest way to mash potatoes is with a potato masher. If you want extra smooth potatoes, you can try pressing your potatoes through a ricer before you add them back to the pot.
- Be sure not to mash your potatoes in the food processor. If you try it that way, you’ll end up with really thick potatoes that have an unpleasant texture.
- Cut your potatoes into similar sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
