Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 2 inches).
Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover them. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly and return them to the hot pot to remove any excess moisture.
Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth, or leave slightly chunky if desired.
Add the cream cheese, sour cream, and garlic-infused butter to the potatoes. Stir until fully combined and creamy.
Gradually pour in the milk, a little at a time, while stirring, until the mashed potatoes reach your desired consistency.
Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy your Deluxe Mashed Potatoes!
