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 2% milk
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Once cooked, drain the water and mash the potatoes well with a potato masher.
- 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
- Once the butter is melted, stir the butter, cream cheese and milk mixture into the potatoes until fluffy.
- Season to taste with salt (I like 2-3 tsp) and DEVOUR!
