Ingredients

  • 4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 4 tbsp butter sliced into tablespoons
  • 4 ounces cream cheese cut into smaller chunks
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Wash and cut potatoes into similar size pieces. You can peel them first, if desired.

  2. Place cut potatoes into a deep pot and add enough water to cover the potatoes.

  3. Cover the pot with a lid and bring to a boil. Boil for 20-25 minutes, until fork tender. (Boiling time may vary due to the sizes of the potato pieces)

  4. Drain the potatoes and then, mash the potatoes well.

  5. Add the butter, cream cheese, sour cream, milk and salt. Continue mashing to melt and combine ingredients.

  6. When potatoes are smooth and creamy, serve or place in a glass baking dish and cover. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

  7. Remove potatoes from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before you want to bake them.

  8. Bake uncovered in a 350° oven for 35-40 minutes.

  9. Top with extra butter and/or dried parsley after baking, if desired. Enjoy!
