Garlic Mashed Potatoes

• INGREDIENTS

  • 5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, ((or red potatoes) cut into large chunks)

  • 8 cloves garlic, (fresh)

  • 8 oz cream cheese

  • 8 oz sour cream

  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 2 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp ground black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• DIRECTIONS

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

  • Rinse potatoes and cut into large chunks. Place the potatoes and garlic cloves in boiling water and cook for about 8-12 min or until they are fork tender. (Cooking time will vary based on altitude)

  • Drain water from the potatoes and replace in the pot on hot burner and let sit 1-2 minutes. Add sour cream, butter, cream cheese, salt, pepper, and oregano.

  • Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to the desired consistency combining with the cream cheese, sour cream and seasonings as you mash. Once they are at the right consistency, switch to a spoon and stir to make sure everything is incorporated evenly. Serve warm with butter or gravy! Enjoy!
