Ingredients
- 4 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and cut into quarters
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature, cut into small cubes
- 1/2 cup sour cream room temperature
- 1 cup milk room temperature or warm, whole milk works best
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt or more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley and/or chives optional garnish
- butter slices optional garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil.
- Add the potatoes and cook for 20 minutes or until potatoes are very tender.
- Drain the potatoes, then place them back into the pot.
- Place the butter and garlic in a small bowl. Microwave the bowl in 30 second increments until the butter is melted.
- Add the melted butter mixture, cream cheese, sour cream, milk, salt and pepper to the pot of potatoes.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until they're mostly smooth. You can also use a potato ricer if you prefer.
- Taste the potatoes and add more salt and pepper if desired.
- Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish.
- Top with parsley or chives 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 it will also work with low fat milk, half and half, and heavy cream with good results.
- Use a potato masher if you prefer some lumps in your mashed potatoes. If you want completely smooth potatoes, try using a potato ricer.
