Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Just in time for Thanksgiving here is a fantastic recipe for creamy mashed potatoes. The secret is using two different kinds of potatoes and cream cheese!

You will need:
1 bag of Russet potatoes
1 bag of Gold Potatoes
8oz of cream cheese
Milk
Butter
Salt and Pepper

 

I like using two different kids of potatoes. Russet potatoes have a different texture than the Gold. Russet are more dry and fluffy and Gold are more moist and velvety. By combining them you get the best of both worlds a moist yet fluffy potato.

 

Begin by washing and peeling your potatoes. I used 5 Russet potatoes and 6 Gold potatoes. That made enough to feed about 5 people. Then Boil them til they are soft all the way through.

 

 

Then drain all the water and mash them all up in the same pot. You will need the heat for the cream cheese to melt into the potatoes.

 

 

Then add the cream cheese. I start with 4 oz. After the cream cheese is mixed in. Then add milk, butter, and salt and pepper to your liking. You can add more cream cheese to get the texture you want. Then serve and enjoy!

Happy Cooking- Brittany
