Ingredients
  

  • 10 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes (peeled, washed and cut into 2-inch cubes)
  • 2 Chopped Onions
  • 6 cloves Whole Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 stick Butter
  • 1 stick Soft Butter
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream
  • 4 oz Softened Cream Cheese
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • ½ tbsp Black Pepper (some would use white pepper but I prefer crushed black pepper here)

Instructions
 

  • Place potatoes in large pot and cover with cold water. Add Onions, Whole Garlic, Salt and Butter. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover and let rest for 10 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
  • Reserve ½ cup liquid then drain potatoes and return them to the warm pot.
  • Mash potatoes with a potato masher or whip with a beater (not too much, you don't want gluey potatoes) or preferably put through a ricer for light and fluffy potatoes.
  • Add Soft Butter, Heavy Cream, Softened Cream Cheese, Salt and Black Pepper. Blend together and taste for seasoning (use a little reserved liquid as needed if potatoes are too dry).
