Prep time: 5 min |Cook time: 45 min |

Yield: About 8 servings

Ingredients

• 3-1/2 pounds potatoes, Russets or Yukon Gold
• Kosher salt and white pepper or freshly ground black pepper
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
• 1/4 cup whole milk, warmed
• 1/2 cup heavy cream, warmed

Instructions

Place unpeeled potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt in a medium pot, cover with cold water by 2 inches, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover partially, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 35 minutes. Drain, and let stand until just cool enough to handle. Rub off skins, and discard. Cut potatoes into large pieces.

Combine potatoes, cream cheese, butter, milk, and 1/4 cup cream in a mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until combined. Season with salt and pepper, and beat to desired consistency.

Return mashed potatoes to pot, and place over medium heat. Add remaining cream, and cook, stirring constantly, until heated through. Serve immediately, or keep warm in a covered bowl over simmering water for up to 2 hours.

To Make Garlic Mashed Potatoes: You can add the peeled cloves directly into the boiling water with the potatoes, then remove, roast in a pan for additional flavor, and mash them. Add to the cooked potatoes. For this recipe you'll want most of a full head of garlic, but use it to taste, adding some and tasting before adding more. Even better is roasted. Cut off the tip end of a whole head of garlic, place it with the cut side up into a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle all over with good olive oil, pull the sides up a bit and loosely cover. Roast in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until the cloves are fork tender. Let cool, then squeeze out what you want to use and mash. Add to the potatoes. Save or eat the rest!
