Light And Fluffy Mashed Potatoes

By Tasty40 min🍽 10 servings

Whip up these light and fluffy mashed potatoes for a heavenly side dish that'll have everyone asking for seconds. With a touch of cream cheese and a hint of garlic, this creamy delight is the perfect companion to any meal.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes longer.

  2. 2

    Drain the potatoes and press through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the butter, cream, and milk in a small pot over low heat until simmering.

  4. 4

    Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Garnish with chives, if desired.

  6. 6

    Note: A potato ricer gives these potatoes a super fluffy texture, but you can use a hand masher if you don’t own one.

  7. 7

    Enjoy!
