Instructions
- Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat then reduce the heat to medium-high and continue to boil for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. Drain the water then return the potatoes to the pot.
- Add the cream cheese, whipping cream, and butter and use a potato masher to mash the potatoes. (See notes.) Season to taste with salt (we like about 2 teaspoons) and stir the salt through the potatoes.
Notes
- If you mash potatoes too much, they become gluey. Easy does it! For the smoothest mashed potatoes, use a potato ricer then mix the cream cheese, cream, butter, and salt in afterward.
