Here’s how I make my FAVORITE mashed potatoes. Details below. 🥔 #mashedpotatoes #holidaycooking #comfortfood MASHED POTATOES 4-5 pounds yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered (7-8 potatoes) 8 ounces room temp cream cheese, cubed 1/2-3/4 cup heavy cream, warm 1/2 cup salted butter, cubed and melted 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder salt, to taste Finely chopped parsley or chives as garnish 1. Add potatoes to a large pot and fill with cold water, covering potatoes by 2 inches. Generously season water with a big pinch of salt. You should be able to taste the salt in the water. 2. Cover and bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20-25 minutes or until you can easily pierce potatoes with a fork with no resistance. Do not undercook. Add cream and butter to a microwaveable safe measuring glass or bowl. Heat for 45 seconds-1 minute or until the cream is warm and the butter is partially melted. 3. Remove potatoes from the heat and strain all water. Return potatoes to the same pot (keep off heat). Mash the potatoes (or use a potato ricer) until smooth. Pour in half the cream/butter and mash together. Repeat with the remaining cream/butter. 4. Add cream cheese and stir with a rubber spatula until potatoes are smooth and silky. Season with additional salt if needed. 5. Serve immediately topped with chopped parsley or chives.
