Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 0.25 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized 2-inch chunks.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium, and allow the potatoes to simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to steam off excess moisture.
Add the butter and cream cheese to the pot with the potatoes. Mash the potatoes using a masher or a potato ricer until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the sour cream, milk, and ranch seasoning mix. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped chives, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
