Ingredients
4cupscubed Russet or Yukon Gold potatoespeeled, washed and cut
2ouncescream cheeseregular or ⅓-less fat
2tablespoonsbutter
¼-1/2cupheavy whipping cream start with ¼ cup
½-1teaspoonssalt
Instructions
Add potatoes and 2 cups of water to a large saucepan. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook covered at a rolling simmer 15-20 minutes, or until you can easily pierce the potatoes with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and pour into a large mixing bowl. Add cream cheese, butter, ¼ cup heavy whipping cream, and salt. Rest 2 minutes, then mix with a hand mixer, starting with low speed and building the speed to high as the ingredients start to blend. Mix just until the potatoes are smooth and ingredients cohesive.
Taste to determine if you need to add more salt or cream. If you’d rather have a lumpier texture or don’t have a hand mixer, you can also mash with a masher or ricer tool. If desired, you can top with additional butter.
