Ingredients

  • 4 Lbs Red skinned potatoes, cut into quarters
  • 2 tsp Salt + more to taste
  • 4 Tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 Cup Full-fat cream cheese
  • 3/4-1 Cup 2% Milk

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water so the potatoes are covered about 1 inch. Add the salt into the pot and stir.
  • Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork - about 15-20 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain the water and mash the potatoes well with a potato masher.
  • Melt the butter and cream cheese in a small pan on medium heat (the cream cheese won't fully melt) adding the milk as well so it heats up. I recommend starting with 3/4 cup milk then if you want/need more, heat it up before adding
  • Once the butter is melted, stir the butter, cream cheese and milk mixture into the potatoes until fluffy.
  • Season to taste with salt (I like 2-3 tsp) and DEVOUR!
