Ingredients
- 5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes washed, peeled and cut into approximately 1" cubes
- 1/2 cup butter salted or unsalted
- 4 ounces cream cheese use brick cream cheese, not tub, and cut into 1" cubes
- 1/2 cup half and half heavy whipping cream or milk may also be used, less or more can be used to reach your desired consistency
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Additional butter and half and half as desired
Instructions
- Place cubed potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Water level should be at least an inch above potatoes to allow for proper boiling. Salt water if desired. Bring to a boil.
- Boil until potatoes easily break apart when pierced with a fork. As potatoes are often cut at different sizes, this can take anywhere from 10-20 minutes. After ten minutes start testing by gently stabbing a potato with a fork (this can be done in the water). If it breaks up with no real pressure, then the potatoes are done. Drain.
- Return drained potatoes to empty pot and add in butter, cream cheese, 1/2 cup of half and half, sour cream, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- If desired, additional half and half, milk or cream can be used to create a thinner consistency. Add about a tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Mash with a potato masher. An electric mixer can be used, but don't over-do it or you'll wind up with gummy mashed potatoes.
Notes
- It's far easier to thin mashed potatoes that are too thick, than to thicken runny mashed potatoes! 1/2 cup of half and half, milk or cream is a great starting point for this recipe. You may need more, but add a little at a time, then stir well to incorporate before adding more.
