These Whipped Mashed Potatoes are both fluffy and creamy and made with just five ingredients. My secret tip is adding cream cheese to this homemade recipe.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cubed Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled, washed and cut)
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (regular or 1/3-less fat)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4-1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (start with 1/4 cup)
  • 1/2-1 teaspoons salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Add potatoes and 2 cups of water to a large saucepan. Turn the heat to medium-high heat and cook covered at a rolling simmer 15-20 minutes, or until you can easily pierce the potatoes with a fork.

  2. 2

    Drain the potatoes and pour into a large mixing bowl. Add cream cheese, butter, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, and salt. Rest 2 minutes, then mix with a hand mixer, starting with low speed and building the speed to high as the ingredients start to blend. Mix just until the potatoes are smooth and ingredients cohesive.

  3. 3

    Taste to determine if you need to add more salt or cream. If you’d rather have a lumpier texture or don’t have a hand mixer, you can also mash with a masher or ricer tool. If desired, you can top with additional butter.
