Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 pounds potatoes (I use half Yukon Gold, half Russet potatoes)
2 large cloves garlic, minced
fine sea salt
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup whole milk
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
toppings: chopped fresh chives or green onions, freshly-cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Feel free to peel your potatoes or leave the skins on. Then cut them into evenly-sized chunks, about an inch or so thick, and transfer them to a large stockpot full of cold water.
  • Once all of your potatoes are cut, be sure that there is enough cold water in the pan so that the water line sits about 1 inch above the potatoes. Stir the garlic and 1 tablespoon sea salt into the water. Then turn the heat to high and cook until the water comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high (or whatever temperature is needed to maintain the boil) and continue cooking for about 10-12 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle of a potato goes in easily with almost no resistance. Carefully drain out all of the water.
  • Meanwhile, as the potatoes are boiling, heat the butter, milk and an additional 2 teaspoons of sea salt together either in a small saucepan or in the microwave until the butter is just melted. (You want to avoid boiling the milk.) Set aside until ready to use.
  • After draining the water, immediately return the potatoes to the hot stockpot, place it back on the hot burner, and turn the heat down to low. Using two oven mitts, carefully hold the handles on the stockpot and shake it gently on the burner for about 1 minute to help cook off some of the remaining steam within the potatoes. Remove the stockpot entirely from the heat and set it on a flat, heatproof surface.
  • Using your preferred kind of potato masher (I recommend this one in general, or this one for extra-smooth), mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.
  • Then pour half of the melted butter mixture over the potatoes, and fold it in with a wooden spoon or spatula until potatoes have soaked up the liquid. Repeat with the remaining butter, and then again with the cream cheese, folding in each addition in until just combined to avoid over-mixing. (Feel free to add in more warm milk to reach your desired consistency, if needed.)
  • One final time, taste the potatoes and season with extra salt if needed.
  • Then serve warm, garnished with any extra toppings that you might like, and enjoy!

THE BEST MASHED POTATOES



The Best Mashed Potatoes image

This is our go-to recipe for classic mashed potatoes, made with plenty of butter and cream. To make them fluffy and flavorful, be sure to simmer them slowly and add plenty of salt to the cooking water. And don't skip the step of steaming the excess water off; leaving too much moisture in the potatoes causes them to be loose and gluey.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are great choices for mashed potatoes because they have a creamy texture and hold their shape well.
  • Peel the potatoes before boiling: This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water: Salting the water will help to season the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming watery.
  • Use a potato ricer or masher to mash the potatoes: A potato ricer will give you the smoothest mashed potatoes, but a masher will work just fine.
  • Add milk, butter, and seasonings to taste: Start with a small amount of milk and butter, and then add more until you reach the desired consistency and flavor.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs or grated cheese: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Mashed potatoes are a classic side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be dressed up or down to suit your taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect mashed potatoes that will be the hit of your next meal.
