A delightful twist on classic mashed potatoes, incorporating cream cheese for an extra creamy texture and a hint of chives for a fresh flavor.
Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized chunks.
Cutting the potatoes into similar sizes ensures they cook evenly.
Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
Boiling the potatoes with salt enhances their flavor from the inside out.
Cook the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork, then drain them well.
Draining the potatoes thoroughly prevents the mash from becoming watery.
Return the drained potatoes to the saucepan and add the softened cream cheese.
Adding the cream cheese while the potatoes are still hot helps it melt smoothly.
Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy, then stir in the chopped chives, black pepper, and additional salt to taste.
For an extra fluffy texture, use a hand mixer instead of a masher.
Serve the whipped potatoes warm, garnished with additional chives if desired.
Serving the potatoes immediately ensures they retain their creamy texture and warmth.
