Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Report
Three key ingredients make up these rich and creamy mashed potatoes. You'll never make mashed potatoes another way again. Great for the slow cooker, too.

Ingredients
- 5 pounds Russet potatoes about 7 large potatoes
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup salted butter melted, 4 ounces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream 4 ounces
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 8 grams
Instructions
- Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into large cubes. 5 pounds Russet potatoes
- Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and fill the pot with cold water, leaving about 2 inches at the top of the pan. Place the pan on the stovetop on medium-high heat.
- Allow the water to come to a boil, then turn the water down to medium heat. Boil the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Drain the water from the potatoes.
- Mash the potatoes by mixing just until blended with an electric mixer, or use a potato masher. You can also rice the potatoes through a food mill.
- Stir in the cream cheese, butter, heavy cream and salt. 4 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup salted butter, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- Gently fold the potatoes using a rubber spatula until they are smooth and creamy. Be careful not to mix too hard because want to keep the potato fluffiness.
- You can top with butter, salt, chives or parsley.
Notes
- If you don't have time to rice the potatoes, simply use a handheld potato masher or a hand mixer on low speed to blend the ingredients.
- Slow Cooker Potatoes
- If desired, you can place the finished mashed potatoes in a crock-pot and turn it on low for 2-3 hours. I love the potatoes slow cooked this way. The edges get slightly browned and taste delicious! If you don't want the mashed potatoes to brown at all, be sure to stir the potatoes often, scraping the sides as you stir.
