Extra Creamy Mashed Potatoes Recipes

CREAMY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces that are generally the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. (When they're cooked through a fork should easily slide into the potatoes with no resistance, and the potatoes should almost, but not totally, fall apart.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, allowing all the steam to escape before adding in all the other ingredients.
• Turn off the heat and add the butter, cream cheese and about 1/2 cup of half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Next, add about 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well, and then taste and add more half-and-half, seasoning salt and pepper if needed.
• Transfer the potatoes to a medium-sized baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place in the oven until the butter is melted and the potatoes are warmed through.

EXTRA CREAMY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and rinse potatoes, then slice them and add them to a pot of boiling water. Once boiled until very tender, drain. I usually boil for aprox. 15 minutes, give or take a few. Add back to the pot beat with electric mixer adding butter and folding in sour cream. Once thoroughly mixed, add the rest of ingredients and mix again except paparika which I sprinkle just a bit on top for color. They are ready to be served. My husband loves these!
