Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 2 inches wide. This ensures even cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and add enough water to cover them completely. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to let any residual moisture evaporate.
Add the butter, milk, salt, and cream cheese to the pot with the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or hand mixer until they reach your desired level of smoothness. For a creamier texture, use a hand mixer on low speed.
Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Serve immediately as a comforting side dish to your favorite main course.
