The Recipe
Ingredients
- Potatoes
- Salt
- Butter
- Heavy cream
- Whole milk
- Cream cheese
- Garlic powder
- Black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Add some salt to a pot of water, then add in your potatoes once it's still cold. This way the potatoes cook more evenly.
- 2
Once they're cooked, strain them, add them back with some butter, and gradually add in some heavy cream and whole milk.
- 3
Mash it and add some cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, mix, and continue to mash.
- 4
Now use an immersion hand blender or throw it in the blender. Give it a quick pulse and add in some cream while doing it.
Helpful Notes
- ◈Overmixing the potatoes releases too much starch, making them gummy. A quick pulse with the blender is sufficient.
