Equipment
- 1 potato masher
Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds potatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream (divided)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese (or one 8 ounce block)
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated or shredded)
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash, peel, and cut your potatoes into roughly 1 inch cubes. Remove any bruised areas.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cool water.
- Heat over high heat and bring the water to a boil, allowing it to boil for about 30 minutes or until fork tender.
- Remove from heat and drain the water into a colander.
- Return the potatoes to the pot or a large bowl.
- Add in the butter, half of the cream, and cream cheese and mash the potatoes with a potato masher.
- Mix until the potatoes start to mash with some lumps.
- Add in the cheddar and parm cheese and continue to mash until mostly smooth.
- You may still have some lumps when done. For smoother mashed potatoes, use a hand blender.
- After you fully mix in the cheeses, check the potatoes for moisture. If they are too dry, add a small amount of the remaining cream and mix to combine.
- Check again and if it is still not moist, keep adding and mixing until you reach your desired level of moisture.
- Serve with your favorite sides and main courses.
