Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 6 pieces Laughing Cow cheese wedges
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks, approximately 1-2 inches in size, to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, warm the whole milk in a small saucepan or in the microwave until it is just warm but not boiling. Set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.
Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth and free of lumps.
Add the Laughing Cow cheese wedges, unsalted butter, and garlic powder (if using) to the mashed potatoes. Stir until the cheese and butter are fully melted and incorporated.
Gradually stir in the warm milk until the mashed potatoes reach your desired consistency. Adjust the amount of milk based on personal preference.
Season the mashed potatoes with the remaining salt and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
