Ingredients
- 4 Lbs Purple Potatoes, cut into quarters or halves if they are small potatoes
- 2 tsp Salt + more to taste
- 4 Tbsp Butter
- 1/2 Cup Full-fat cream cheese
- 1 3/4-2 Cups 2% Milk or almond 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 very easily pierced with a fork - about 20-25 mins.
- Once cooked, drain the water and mash the potatoes well with a potato masher or a potato ricer. I strongly recommend a ricer otherwise it's very easy to overwork the potatoes.
- 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 1 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!
