Ingredients
- 5 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and rinsed
- 1 1/2 sticks regular salted butter, plus more for dotting
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup or so half-and-half
- A splash heavy cream
- Salt and black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Dice the potatoes and boil in a pot of water until fork tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain and return to the pan over low heat. Mash the potatoes for 5 minutes to allow a lot of the steam to escape.
- Add the butter, cream cheese, half-and-half, cream, some salt, pepper and roasted garlic. Stir/mash to combine. Test and adjust the seasonings.
- Spread the potatoes into a large buttered baking dish. Dot the top with butter. Bake until heated through, about 30 minutes.

I have tried for years to find the perfect recipe for mashed potatoes. Honestly, it was my kryptonite. These mashed potatoes were fantastic. For someone that loves to cook and has been told that my food is really good, it baffled me that I could not get it right with something as simple as mashed potatoes. Problem solved . One thing to observe with recipe. In the video Ree prepares for a party of 17. Recipe has been cut in half for obvious reasons, except for cream cheese. I cut cream cheese in half to 4 ounces.
I make these mashed potatoes now for every holiday. Everyone LOVES them!
Excellent! Creamy wonderfulness! Everyone loved them! Followed the recipe exactly with the exception of adding one cup of fresh shredded Parmesan before mashing.
Wow! Amazing! How just adding the garlic to the potatoes makes a difference in taste. I’ve been makings this for 2 years now and my family even want seconds.
These were delicious! Served underneath beef bourguignon. Will definitely be making again.
These were absolutely the best – I added a generous amount of grated parmesan cheese and panko bread crumbs mixture on top and after cooking to heat through broiled the top on medium, talk about awesome – creamy inside with a crunchy yummy top!
Delicious and creamy mashed potatoes! Simply Perfect!
The best mashed potatoes ever!
I halved this recipe, there were only 2 of us sharing. That said we ate hefty portions, but about half the potatoes were left. This recipe was so good, it will be my new “go to” mashed potato recipe!
This recipe is delicious!! Making it again for a second time!
