Ingredients

5 pounds Russet potatoes
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese
1/2- 1 cup milk
1 teaspoon Lawry’s season salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Cook the potatoes. Whatever way you like best, oven, boil or microwave. I choose microwave because I’m impatient and I have this cool fabric pocket thing my grandma gave me for microwaving potatoes. Also, I leave the skin on my potatoes because I like a more rustic taste. But you can totally peel them if that is your preference.
2. Once cooked, cut into chunks and place in a mixer bowl. Add butter, cream cheese and milk. Mix on low for about a minute.
3. Scrape down bowl, add Lawry’s and black pepper. Mix again on low for about 30 seconds. Taste to see if you want more butter or milk, then mix again.
4. Careful not to overmix, otherwise potatoes will become gummy. Always mix on low. Mix until you get the desired consistency.
5. Transfer to serving bowl and enjoy my favorite food!
