Yield 6
- 2 lbs. russet potatoes peeled and chunked
- 6 oz. cream cheese
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Add the peeled and chunked potatoes to a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook for 10-15 minutes. When the potatoes are fork tender, drain and add the potatoes back into the pot.
Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until all of the pieces are broken up.
Next, add the cream cheese, butter, salt, and pepper to the pot and mix together.
Serve immediately.
- We used russet potatoes, but any Yukon gold or red potatoes could be substituted. Those potatoes do not need to be peeled.
