Ingredients

  • 3-4 pounds Russet Potatoes
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 stick butter
  • milk

Instructions

  • Wash and peel about 3-4 pounds russet potatoes. Cut them into 1" pieces.
  • For the garlic: Smash, Peel, and Cut 4 garlic cloves in half.
  • Place potatoes and garlic in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil about 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain water and return back to the pot.
  • Mash potatoes. Add cream cheese, butter, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Feel free to use your hand mixer.
  • If potatoes are too thick, add milk until you reach desired consistency. If you like thicker potatoes- add less or if you like thin potatoes-add more. Stir well—salt and pepper to taste.
