I have been out of commission the last few years due to working on my doctorate. Now that I'm on my internship, I have had a bit more time and energy to get back to my blog. Now that it's the week of Thanksgiving, I want to share some of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes each day this week. And of course we have to start with mashed potatoes! This is my friend Debbie's recipe. I spent many Thanksgivings at her house with my family and hers, so it seems only right to share her recipe first. I must say that this mashed potato recipe always comes out great, and it's pretty darn easy!
Ingredients:
- 5 lbs. potatoes, peeled and sliced thin (Yukon Gold potatoes are the best)
- 1 (8oz) package cream cheese
- 1 stick butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Put the potatoes in a large pot and fill with water until
the potatoes are completely covered.
Boil until they are soft, about 15 minutes. Put the potatoes, cream cheese, butter, and
salt/pepper in KitchenAid stand mixer, and mix until smooth.
I like to leave a little peel on my potatoes to give it some texture, but if you're not into that, feel free to completely peel them. Also, mixing mashed potatoes is one of the best uses for a KitchenAid stand mixer. I'm not getting paid by them, but I must say they make a great mixer, and I don't know what I'd do with out it. As you can see from my picture, the KitchenAid makes the potatoes nice and creamy.
