Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Russet potatoes
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Chopped chives
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into 2-inch chunks.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to let excess moisture evaporate.
Add the butter, cream cheese, and heavy cream to the potatoes. Mash everything together using a potato masher or an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the garlic powder, black pepper, and the remaining teaspoon of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Fold in half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, cheesy Party Mashed Potatoes!
