Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
Coarse salt
1 1/2 cups milk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
4 ounces bar cream cheese, cubed

Steps:

  • Over medium heat, stir potatoes until dry (a film of starch will form on bottom of pan), about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring milk and butter to a simmer; pour over potatoes. Add cream cheese; season generously with salt. Mash just until smooth, being careful not to overmash.
