Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 pounds potato or Idaho Russets are fine, too, Yukon gold variety
  • 1/4 cup butter salted
  • 6 cloves garlic minced and divided in half
  • 3/4 cup milk whole
  • 3 oz cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Peel potatoes and cut into evenly sized 1-inch chunks. Place into large pot and cover with cold water. Salt water and cover. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes.
