Steps:
- Peel the potatoes and slice as thinly as possible on a mandoline directly into a large, 8-quart container filled with 4 quarts of cold water. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Drain the potatoes and rinse with clean, cold water; spin dry in a salad spinner. Transfer the potatoes to an 11-quart pot, cover with the milk and set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, about 35 minutes. Reduce the heat in order to maintain a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the potatoes are fork tender and beginning to fall apart, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Reserve 1 cup of the cooking milk. Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander and return them to the pot. Press the potatoes through a ricer into a large mixing bowl. Add the reserved hot milk, butter and salt and use an electric hand mixer to whip on low speed for 15 to 30 seconds. Do not overwhip.

"More, please" is what you'll hear when you serve these light and creamy potatoes. Seasoned with just a hint of garlic, they go well with all kinds of meat. And any mom appreciates the fact that she can make them ahead and bake them just before serving. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper, and then any additional cream mixture as needed for the potatoes to achieve the texture of stiffly whipped cream. Serve immediately, or cover and set over a double boiler to keep warm.

AMAZING MASHED POTATOES
When I was growing up, my parents always made mashed potatoes from flakes.... ugh! It was such a treat to go to our grandparents house on holidays. Grandpa made his potatoes by hand with his special recipe that no one else has been able to match. I made it a point to help him get the potatoes ready for big dinners until I learned his recipe by heart. A few years ago, I volunteered to make them for my in-laws' Thanksgiving party. Word spread... and now I'm the designated potato maker for EVERY function on BOTH sides of the family. It's okay though... it's an honor... and I can't get enough of them myself!

Steps:
- Peel and rinse potatoes, and cut them into small chunks (approximately 1 inch cubes.) Bigger chunks take longer to cook.
- Put potato chunks into a large stock pot.
- Add the carton of chicken stock to the potatoes in the pot. (If you want, you can save a little of the chicken stock to add to the potatoes after they've been drained later on. It gives a little more flavor -- )
- Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of salt over the potatoes and fill the pot with water just until potatoes are covered.
- Boil the potatoes until the chunks are soft enough to break apart when poked with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes.
- While potatoes are still hot, add the butter, sour cream, and cream cheese. If you saved any of the chicken stock, you can add that now. Just make sure it's been heated well, especially if it's homemade. I always start with 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup of sour cream, and 1/2 of the cream cheese. After it's melted and mixed in, you can go back and add more if you want. I end up using different amounts almost every time -- just more until it tastes right. I generally mash the potatoes a little by hand, and then use a hand mixer to finish the job. Don't whip the potatoes too long, though, or they'll lose their texture. They should stay thick and not be too smooth.
- Sprinkle salt over potatoes to taste, and stir in well.
- The resulting mashed potatoes should be fairly thick, perhaps just a little on the lumpy side. If you absolutely must have them a little more runny, you can add some milk (1/4 cup at a time) and whip with a hand mixer until you get the desired consistency.
- Make sure to serve them while they're warm! I usually double this recipe for holidays, and I haven't taken home any leftovers yet -- .

Tips:
- For creamy whipped potatoes, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. These varieties have a high starch content, which will give your potatoes a smooth and fluffy texture.
- Make sure your potatoes are cooked thoroughly before you start whipping them. If they are undercooked, they will be too dense and won't whip up properly.
- Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest and fluffiest potatoes. A ricer will remove all of the lumps from your potatoes, giving you a light and airy texture.
- Whip your potatoes on low speed until they are just smooth. Over-whipping will make your potatoes gluey.
- Add your seasonings and butter gradually, tasting as you go. You want to achieve a balance of flavors without overpowering the potatoes.
Conclusion:
Whipped potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. By following these tips, you can make perfect whipped potatoes every time. Whether you like them creamy and smooth or light and fluffy, there is a whipped potato recipe out there for everyone. So next time you are looking for a side dish that is both delicious and easy to make, give whipped potatoes a try!
