Ingredients
- 4 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and cut into quarters
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 8 ounces cream cheese cut into small cubes
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt or more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper or more to taste
- cooking spray
For serving
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- additional butter for garnish optional
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the potatoes and cook for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Drain the potatoes, then place them back into the pot.
- Place the butter and garlic in a small bowl. Microwave the bowl for 30 second increments until the butter is melted.
- Add the melted garlic butter, cream cheese, milk, salt and pepper to the pot of potatoes.
- Mash the potatoes until they're smooth and creamy.
- Coat a 3 quart or larger oven safe baking dish with cooking spray.
- Spread the potatoes in an even layer in the dish and cover with foil.
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- When you're ready to warm the potatoes, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the covered pan of potatoes in the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until potatoes are warmed through.
- Top with parsley and additional butter if desired, then serve.
Notes
- Keep your peeled potatoes from browning by placing them in a bowl of water as you cut them.
- I typically use whole milk in this recipe, but have also tested it with low fat milk, half and half, and heavy cream with good results.
- No Russet potatoes on hand? This recipe will also work with Yukon Gold potatoes.
