Method
- Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces that are generally the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for 30 to 35 minutes. When they're cooked through, a fork should easily slide into the potatoes with no resistance, and the potatoes should almost, but not totally, fall apart.
- Drain the potatoes in a large colander. When the potatoes have finished draining, place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, allowing all the steam to escape, before adding in all the other ingredients.
- Turn off the stove and add the butter, cream cheese, half-and-half, and cream. Mash until smooth. Next, add the seasoned salt, pepper, and kosher salt. Taste and add more seasonings as needed.
- Stir well, and place in a medium-sized baking dish. Add a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place them into a 350ºF oven to heat until the butter is melted and the potatoes are warmed through.
Notes
This recipe is designed to recreate the creamy texture and rich flavor of restaurant-style mashed potatoes. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your preference.
