Back in August, my boyfriend requested one thing post-wisdom teeth surgery. Mashed Potatoes. With nothing else to do with my Saturday, I decided to do some experimenting in the kitchen. I researched a few mashed potatoes recipes, all which claimed to be "the best", and combined a few to come up with a masterpiece.
Since then, these potatoes have continued to be requested by my family and my boyfriend's family, all of whom snagged a bite of the post-op, teenage boy.
These are the most flavorful and creamy potatoes!
INGREDIENTS
5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
1/2 cup butter
2 cups Parmesan cheese
1 cup chopped fresh chives
1 1/2 cups cream cheese
1/2 medium head garlic, peeled and minced
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes; cook until tender but still firm. Drain and return to stove over low heat to dry for 1 to 2 minutes.
Add butter, Parmesan cheese, chives, cream cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Use a potato masher to mash until smooth, and serve.
