Holiday Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

  • russet potatoes (5 pounds)
  • salt (1.5 teaspoons)
  • garlic paste (1 teaspoon)
  • butter (8 tablespoons)
  • cream cheese (4 ounces)
  • sour cream (0.5 cup)
  • whole milk (1 cup)
  • fresh parsley (2 tablespoons)
  • freshly ground black pepper (0 )

Instructions

  1. Place potatoes in a colander and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Transfer potatoes to a large pot and fill with enough cold water that potatoes are covered by 2 inches; add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
  2. Drain potatoes in a colander and transfer to a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Add remaining ½ teaspoon salt, garlic, 6 tablespoons butter, cream cheese, sour cream, and ½ cup milk. Using an electric hand mixer, or in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, blend on medium speed. Pour in remaining ½ cup milk and mix on high speed to whip potatoes until fluffy.
  3. Transfer potatoes to a serving bowl and top with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Garnish with parsley and season with pepper.
