Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 2 inches).

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover them. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly and return them to the hot pot to remove any excess moisture.

Step 7

Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth, or leave slightly chunky if desired.

Step 8

Add the cream cheese, sour cream, and garlic-infused butter to the potatoes. Stir until fully combined and creamy.

Step 9

Gradually pour in the milk, a little at a time, while stirring, until the mashed potatoes reach your desired consistency.

Step 10

Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your Deluxe Mashed Potatoes!
