Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup half-and-half
- 3 tbsp fresh chives
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 8 cups water
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Add 8 cups of water to a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Carefully place the cubed potatoes into the boiling water. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, finely chop the fresh chives and set them aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the hot pot to dry off for 1-2 minutes over low heat.
Cut the cream cheese into smaller pieces and add it to the pot along with the butter, half-and-half, garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt, if needed.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use a hand mixer to achieve your desired consistency.
Stir in the chopped chives, reserving a small amount for garnish.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with the reserved chives.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, flavorful Cream Cheese and Chive Potatoes!
