Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 5 pounds Russet potatoes
  • 1 cup butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt (plus more in boiling water)
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional)
  • green onion (garnish)

Instruction

  • Wash, peel and quarter the potatoes. 
  • Place in a large pot and fill with water.  Salt the water generously. 
  • Bring the water to a boil and cook for about 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender. 
  • Drain and place back into the large pot or a large mixing bowl. 
  • Add butter, cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer to beat until the potatoes are smooth. 
  • Add salt and pepper to taste (I use one teaspoon each) and if you want thinner potatoes add about 1/4 cup milk (more if your prefer). Beat again. 
  • Serve. You can garnish with parsley or green onion.
