Instructions
- Put the chopped potatoes in a large stock pot. Add enough water or chicken broth to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Drain the liquid from the potatoes. Return the cooked potatoes to the pan. Return to low-medium heat and stir potatoes until the steam coming off potatoes noticeably decreases.
- Process potatoes with either a potato ricer or a food mill so that there are no chunks.
- Heat milk until warm. Add milk, cream cheese, and garlic to potatoes. Mix well.
- Cut cold butter into small chunks and slowly add to potatoes while mixing vigorously with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
