When the holiday season arrives, why not dress up your mashed potatoes! That’s what we do. All it takes is some cream cheese, sour cream, a little garlic, and your mixer! — Dolly and Rachel

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 to 12 servings

  • 5 pounds russet potatoes - washed, peeled, and quartered

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste, or 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 8 tablespoons butter, room temperature

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • 1 cup whole milk, room temperature

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  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.
