Best Best Ever Creamy Mashed Potatoes Recipes

THE CREAMIEST, BUTTERIEST, TASTIEST MASHED POTATOES EVER

Steps:

• For the mashed potatoes: Add the potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt to a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside to dry.
• Whip together the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with a hand mixer on medium speed until thoroughly blended, about 2 minutes. Add the still-warm potatoes alternating with the half-and-half. Whip until blended. Add in the pepper and garlic and season with salt to taste.
• Grease a 9-by-14-inch glass baking dish with butter and pour the potato mixture into it. Bake right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• When ready to bake and serve, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the topping: Pour the melted butter over the potato mixture and bake until bubbly and slightly golden, about 45 minutes. Garnish with the chives and parsley. The potatoes can be kept warm in a 200-degree oven or tented with foil until ready to serve, up to 2 hours.

CREAMY MASHED POTATO

Steps:

• Place in a large pot with 1 tbsp salt. Add water so it's 10cm / 4" above potatoes.
• Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat so it's simmering rapidly. Cook 15 minutes or until potatoes are very soft (jab with fork to test, they should fall apart).
• Drain well, return into pot. Leave for 1 minute, shaking pot every now and then, to encourage evaporation of water.
• Add Flavourings then mash well, using milk to make it looser if desired.
• DO NOT use: a beater, stick blender, food processor or blender. You can pulse with a stand mixer or handheld mixer but be cautious, stop as soon as it's creamy (potatoes will quickly go from perfect to gluey using appliances).
• Transfer to serving bowl, make pretty swirls across the top and drizzle over butter. Sprinkle with chives then serve!

BEST EVER CREAMY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash and peel the potatoes, cutting them into about 1-2 inch chunks (be sure all the chunks of potato are the same size so they cook evenly).
• Add the potatoes to a large pot and fill the pot with hot water just so the potatoes are covered. Add the garlic, thyme and salt, and stir well.
• Set the pot over high heat on the stove and cover. When it reaches a boil, continue cooking, covered over medium heat for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Grease a large lasagna pan or casserole dish (slightly bigger than 9-inches by 13-inches), and set aside.
• When the potatoes are done, drain the potatoes and remove the garlic cloves and thyme sprigs.
• Add the potatoes back into the pot and mash well with a potato masher (by hand).
• Add the butter, cream cheese, garlic powder and onion powder, and some salt and pepper (you can always add more salt and pepper later, so start with a few pinches of each) on top and replace the lid. Wait for a few minutes so the heat of the potatoes can warm up the other ingredients.
• Use a hand mixer to mix everything together until the mixture is creamy and smooth, and everything is incorporated. Don't over-whip...this will create glue-y sticky mashed potatoes.
• Spoon the mashed potatoes into the baking dish and smooth out the top.
• Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-25 minutes, or just until the top gets crispy and golden brown.
• Serve immediately.
