It’s pretty normal to add milk or cream to potatoes but this recipe also includes a generous amount of cream cheese to really set them over the edge into indulgently delicious territory. Once you try these secret ingredient mashed potatoes you’ll never use another recipe!

 

Ingredients

1/3 milk or heavy cream

3 tablespoons butter

4 ounces of cream cheese

2 ½ pounds russet potatoes

Directions

Peel and cut the potatoes, place in a large stock pot filled with salted water. (Make sure you add enough water to cover the potatoes.) Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat so the water is simmering, and cook until potatoes are fork tender, 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the butter and cream cheese and heavy cream in a small saucepan (medium-low heat). Cook , stirring frequently, until smooth and warm.

Drain the potatoes – when they’re cool enough to handle, pass them through a ricer into a large bowl. Add the heavy cream mixture and stir well to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
