📝 Preparation Steps
1
Peel and dice potatoes. I like to dice them small so they cook faster. Add them to a large pot and fill with water one inch above the potato line.
2
Bring to a boil and cook about ⏱️ 10-15 minutes (cooking time will depend on potato size), or until the potatoes are fork tender (when stabbed with a fork they fall off on their own).
3
Drain the potatoes and place them back in the pot. Place the pot back on the burner over very low heat. Mash with a potato masher until all the big chunks are broken up.
4
Add the cream cheese and butter to the pan. Put the lid on top and let sit for about ⏱️ 30 seconds, then mash the cream cheese and butter into the potatoes, adding the milk and seasoning to taste. Add more milk if desired for creamier mashed potatoes.
5
Remove from heat and serve or place in serving dish.
6
Make ahead instructions: make up to one day ahead. Store in a covered container. Let come to room temperature before reheating. Reheat in the oven or microwave until hot. You may need to add a bit more butter or milk to get them back to desired texture if you’re reheating.
