Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 5 pounds (2.27 kg) red potatoes, unpeeled
- 5 cloves garlic, whole
- 6 cups (1.4 liters) chicken broth
Dairy and Seasoning:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) salted butter
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Elevate a large pot with chicken broth to a rolling boil over high flame.
- Quarter unpeeled potatoes into roughly 1-inch chunks, separating garlic cloves simultaneously.
- Submerge potato pieces and garlic into vigorously boiling broth, allowing them to simmer for approximately 15 minutes until potatoes reach tender perfection.
- Carefully drain potatoes and garlic using a colander, transferring the cooked ingredients into a spacious mixing vessel.
- Introduce cold butter, creamy cream cheese, tangy buttermilk, and a generous pinch of salt to the potato mixture.
- Vigorously attack the ingredients with a robust potato masher, transforming the components into a smooth, luxurious consistency where no distinct chunks remain.
- Continue mashing and folding until the mixture achieves a rich, velvety texture that promises restaurant-quality indulgence.
- Transfer the whipped potatoes to a serving dish, ready to be enjoyed as a decadent side that elevates any main course.
Notes
- Boost flavor by roasting garlic beforehand for a deeper, more caramelized taste profile that elevates the entire dish.
- Keep potato skins on for added nutrients, rustic texture, and a more homemade appearance that gives these mashed potatoes extra character.
- Use room temperature dairy ingredients to ensure smoother blending and prevent lumpy potato texture when mixing butter, cream cheese, and buttermilk.
- Experiment with alternative milk options like lactose-free buttermilk or plant-based alternatives to make the recipe more dietary-friendly for those with dairy restrictions.
