Cream Cheese Butter Mashed Potatoes
  1. 1

    Rinse the potatoes well and cut them into 2- to 3-inch pieces. Put them in a large pot and add just enough hot water to cover them by about 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil.

  2. 2

    Boil until the potatoes slide off the tip of a fork when pierced, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander and return them to the pot.

  3. 3

    Add the cream cheese, butter, garlic, and salt. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, then stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
