Directions: |
Directions:1. Fill a large pot halfway with cold water. Peel potatoes, cut into 1½ inch chunks and drop into pot. Add enough cold water to cover potatoes by 1 to 2 inches. 2. Stir in salt to make water mildly salty. Cover tightly and bring to boil, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low and set the lid askew. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Do not overcook potatoes!! 3. Drain potatoes well. Transfer to standing mixer. Mash potatoes with paddle attachment until smooth. Add cream cheese and mix until cream cheese melts. Beat in sour cream or milk until potatoes are smooth. Mix in butter, a few pieces at a time. Season with 1 tsp. salt and white pepper. 4. Transfer potatoes to a buttered casserole or large baking dish. Cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve - up to 1 day. 5. Preheat oven to 375º. Remove plastic wrap and cover casserole with foil. Bake until potatoes are heated through, about 30 to 40 minutes. Garnish with chives or parsley if desired. |
