Directions:
1. Add 12 potatoes, cut and peeled, to boiling water. Cook 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain. Shake pan with potatoes over low heat to dry.
2. Mash potatoes in a bowl.
3. Beat in milk in small amounts, beating after each addition.
4. Add cream cheese cubes, butter, and salt and pepper. Beat vigorously until potatoes are light and fluffy.
5. Milk, Cream Cheese, Butter, Salt and Pepper as required and to taste

Wash your potatoes thoroughly to remove dirt and debris. Rinse them in cold water and be sure to scrub off all the dirt—potatoes come from the ground, after all, so they don’t arrive at your grocer squeaky clean.

Next, peel and slice your potatoes into large slices, about 1 ½ inches thick. We recommend using a pairing knife or even an apple slicer to slice your potatoes.

When you’re ready, add your potatoes to your pot of water. It will help your potatoes cook faster if you pre-salt the water—just like you would pasta.
