Ingredients
- Russet potatoes
- Salt
- Whole milk
- Unsalted butter
- Cream cheese (in a tub)
- Pepper
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and chop them into even-sized pieces.
- Boil the potatoes with salt until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and transfer them to the KitchenAid mixer.

- Add softened butter, cream cheese, and milk in stages, mixing well after each addition.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, try using Yukon Gold potatoes.
