Le Cellier: Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 5 pounds Russet potatoes, washed, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup milk*, warmed in a microwave or on a stovetop
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions:
Boil cut potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover them. Cook until tender. Drain water and place potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Mash potatoes using a potato masher or blend on low using an electric mixer. Add in the softened cream cheese, butter, warm milk, salt and pepper to taste.
