THE CREAMIEST MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and rinse potatoes. Cut into 1-inch cubes or chunks. Place the potatoes into a large pot. Pour in chicken broth. Potatoes should be just covered with liquid.
• Place the pot on the stove over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Strain the potatoes from the broth and put the cooked potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
• Add in the butter, cream cheese, buttermilk, and salt. Use a hand mixer to whip the potatoes and other ingredients until light, fluffy, and creamy (3-5 minutes), or use a potato masher or a potato ricer. Serve hot.

BEST EVER CREAMY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash and peel the potatoes, cutting them into about 1-2 inch chunks (be sure all the chunks of potato are the same size so they cook evenly).
• Add the potatoes to a large pot and fill the pot with hot water just so the potatoes are covered. Add the garlic, thyme and salt, and stir well.
• Set the pot over high heat on the stove and cover. When it reaches a boil, continue cooking, covered over medium heat for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Grease a large lasagna pan or casserole dish (slightly bigger than 9-inches by 13-inches), and set aside.
• When the potatoes are done, drain the potatoes and remove the garlic cloves and thyme sprigs.
• Add the potatoes back into the pot and mash well with a potato masher (by hand).
• Add the butter, cream cheese, garlic powder and onion powder, and some salt and pepper (you can always add more salt and pepper later, so start with a few pinches of each) on top and replace the lid. Wait for a few minutes so the heat of the potatoes can warm up the other ingredients.
• Use a hand mixer to mix everything together until the mixture is creamy and smooth, and everything is incorporated. Don't over-whip...this will create glue-y sticky mashed potatoes.
• Spoon the mashed potatoes into the baking dish and smooth out the top.
• Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-25 minutes, or just until the top gets crispy and golden brown.
• Serve immediately.
