Ingredients
Potatoes
- 3 lb potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
Dairy
- 4 ounces cream cheese (½ a brick)
- ⅓ cup whipping cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
Seasoning
- Salt, to taste (about 2 teaspoons recommended)
Instructions
- Boil Potatoes: Add the cut potatoes to a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-high. Continue boiling for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and soft when pierced with a fork. Drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot.
- Add Ingredients: Add the cream cheese, whipping cream, and butter to the hot potatoes. Use a potato masher to mash everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Season: Season the mashed potatoes with salt to taste, stirring well to evenly distribute the flavor. We recommend about 2 teaspoons of salt.
Notes
- For creamier mashed potatoes, use a hand mixer instead of a masher.
- Adjust the amount of whipping cream for your preferred consistency.
- This recipe can be made ahead and gently reheated with a splash of cream to restore creaminess.
