Ingredients
Scale
- 5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Place the pot back on the stove over low heat for a minute or two to dry the potatoes.
- Combine the heavy cream, whole milk, minced garlic, and cubed butter in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the mixture is warmed through.
- Remove the potatoes from the heat. Using a potato ricer or a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth.
- Gradually pour the warm cream mixture into the mashed potatoes, mixing until smooth and creamy. Add the softened cream cheese and continue to mix until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
