Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 5 pounds of russet or Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt optional
- 8 ounces 1 block room temperature cream cheese
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup room temperature salted butter 2 sticks
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and dice the potatoes. Add the potatoes to a large stockpot and fill the pot with enough water to cover all the potatoes. Add garlic salt (or salt) to the pot. Allow the water to boil and cook the potatoes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic and cube the cream cheese and butter.
- The potatoes will be ready when you can easily pierce them with a fork. Once the potatoes are cooked, strain the water out, and transfer the potatoes to a large bowl (or back into the stockpot).
- Add the minced garlic and cubed cream cheese and butter to the diced potatoes. Begin mixing the ingredients with a hand mixer. Gradually add the heavy cream to the potatoes as you mix. Mix until nice and creamy. Some lumps are completely normal, but you may use a potato ricer to get rid of them all.
- Serve the potatoes on a plate and top with gravy or a pad of butter. Enjoy!
