Ingredients

  • 4 pounds red skinned potatoes cut into quarters
  • 2 teaspoons salt plus more to taste
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup full-fat cream cheese
  • 3/4-1 cup milk 2%

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water so the potatoes are covered about 1 inch. Add the salt into the pot and stir.
  2. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork - about 15-20 mins.
  3. Once cooked, drain the water and mash the potatoes well with a potato masher.
  4. Melt the butter and cream cheese in a small pan on medium heat (the cream cheese won't fully melt) adding the milk as well so it heats up. I recommend starting with 3/4 cup milk then if you want/need more, heat it up before adding
  5. Once the butter is melted, stir the butter, cream cheese and milk mixture into the potatoes until fluffy.
  6. Season to taste with salt (I like 2-3 tsp) and DEVOUR!
