Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
Coarse salt
1 1/2 cups milk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
4 ounces bar cream cheese, cubed

Steps:

  • In a 5-quart pan, place potatoes and cover with cold water by 1 inch; add 1 tablespoon coarse salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; return potatoes to pan.
  • Over medium heat, stir potatoes until dry (a film of starch will form on bottom of pan), about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring milk and butter to a simmer; pour over potatoes. Add cream cheese; season generously with salt. Mash just until smooth, being careful not to overmash.

These mashed potatoes were a bit too runny for my taste. I had to add some extra flour to thicken them up.
