Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 1/2 pounds russet potatoes (peeled (about 10 medium))
8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature is best)
1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter (room temperature is best)
3/4 cup whole milk
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Carefully add peeled potatoes.
  • Boil over high heat until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and drain potatoes in a colander. Put drained potatoes back in the pot and put back on the stove over low heat.
  • Add the cream cheese, butter, 1/2 cup of the milk, and a hefty pinch salt and pepper.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until they reach desired consistency. Taste and add additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon into a large bowl and top with a generous pat of butter. Serve.

I followed the recipe exactly and my mashed potatoes turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These mashed potatoes were a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to them. Other than that, they were good.

These mashed potatoes were a bit too garlicky for my taste. I would recommend using less garlic next time.
