Best Ever Thanksgiving Mashed Potatoes recipe

These are the best mashed potatoes you will ever have. I only share this secret family recipe because I think everyone alive should have the chance to taste them. They are good with gravy but even better by themselves. Serves 8.

Ingredients:

• 1 5-pound bag russet potatoes
• 2 sticks butter, at room temperature
• 2 packages cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 16 ounce container sour cream, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup garlic salt
• pepper, to taste
• paprika, for garnish

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Place the potatoes in a large pot of well salted water. Once all the potatoes are added put the pot over high heat and cook the potatoes over a simmer until tender when poked with a fork.

3. Strain the potatoes through a colander and place back into the pot or into the bowl of a stand mixer.

4. Add the butter, cream cheese, sour cream, and garlic salt.

5. Blend in the stand mixer or with a hand-held mixer on medium speed until well combined and no chunks remain.

6. Add pepper to taste.

7. Pour into a baking dish and sprinkle with paprika for garnish.

8. Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly brown and top is crisp.
