Equipment

  • potato masher

Ingredients

  • 2 lb russet potatoes
  • ½ c unsalted buttter
  • ½ c milk
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black or white pepper
  • ½ c cream cheese
  • ¼ c sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 garlic cloves, diced
  • ½ c Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Peel & slice the potatoes lengthwise, making sure pieces are evenly sized (quarter the larger pieces). Place the potatoes in a large pot & cover with water; add salt as desired.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer on low 25 minutes. Drain and return the potatoes to the pot to cook some of the moisture out of them.
  • Mash the potatoes (in batches if you need to) until smooth and fluffy, then add remaining ingredients. Stir well to combine, using a whisk or electric mixer.
