Ingredients
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 4 Tablespoons cream cheese or sour cream
- 1 cup whole milk or half & half
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and peel potatoes, then cut into quarters or 1-2 inch chunks. Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water. Generously season the water with about 1 Tablespoon of salt. Bring the potatoes to a gentle boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes and return to the warm pot. Add the butter and cream cheese to the pot and cover for 3-5 minutes to allow the cream cheese and butter to soften and any water in the potatoes to evaporate.
- Warm up milk in the microwave for about 1 minute or until just warmed through. Add the milk, garlic powder, and a generous sprinkle of salt & pepper to the potatoes. Mash the potatoes well using a potato masher until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer to serving bowl, make swirls on top and drizzle over with butter and garnish with chives if desired.
