Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Cream Cheese.
Step 1
Start by placing your quartered potatoes into a large pot and covering them with salted water.
Step 2
Turn the heat up high and bring the water to a rolling boil.
Step 3
Once you see those bubbles dancing, lower the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer gently for about 20 minutes, or until they’re tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.
Step 4
After they’re perfectly cooked, drain the potatoes and transfer them to a mixing bowl while they’re still warm and steaming—this helps to keep that cozy, comforting vibe.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to add in the softened cream cheese, a splash of milk, a generous pat of butter, and a sprinkle of salt.
Step 6
Grab your electric hand mixer and blend everything together until you achieve a creamy, smooth consistency that’s just begging to be tasted.
Step 7
Before you serve, give it a quick taste and adjust the salt if needed.
Step 8
Enjoy your deliciously creamy mashed potatoes, perfect for any meal!.
