  • 4 Ounces Cream Cheese softened
  • Cup Sour Cream room temperature
  • ½ Cup Unsalted Butter unsalted
  • ¼ Cup Evaporated Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes and cut into 1-2" pieces. Place in a pot with enough cold water to cover to 2" above the top of the potatoes.
    3 Pounds Yellow Potatoes
  • Bring to a boil then add 1 teaspoon salt to the water. Cook until potatoes are all fork tender.
    1 teaspoon Salt
  • Drain then add the potatoes to your stand mixer with the whip attachment.
  • Mix the potatoes completely with the whip attachment, for about 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl a few times.
  • Add ¼ Cup melted butter, the cream cheese, sour cream and 1 teaspoon salt.
    4 Ounces Cream Cheese, ½ Cup Unsalted Butter, ⅓ Cup Sour Cream
  • While the potatoes are mixing add the remaining butter to a small pot on the stove and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the butter has browned and become fragrant. Turn off the heat.
  • Start to add the evaporated milk, slowly, until you reach the consistency you like.
    ¼ Cup Evaporated Milk
  • Spoon the potatoes into the serving bowl of your choice and pour over the browned butter.

Notes

You might need to reheat the potatoes a little before adding to the serving bowl. Add back to the pot you boiled them in and heat up on the stove a little. Before topping with the browned butter.
Either russet potatoes or gold potatoes will work fine for this recipe. I prefer the texture and flavor of the gold potatoes for mashed potatoes.
Don't add any of the fluids to the potatoes until you have whipped them up first.
