    Serve with your favorite main courses like pot roast, pork roast, barbecued meats, and so much more! I will link some of my favorite recipes to serve with these mashed potatoes for you below. This recipe serves about 4-6 people. If you are cooking for a crowd, simply double the recipe.

    Ingredients you need to make my cheesy mashed potatoes:

    Russet Potatoes - You'll need about 2 pounds of russet potatoes(6 large). You can also use golden or red potatoes.

    Cream Cheese - Full fat cream cheese, half fat or neufchatel cheese all work great in this recipe!

    Cheddar Cheese - I used sharp cheddar cheese in this recipe but you can also use mild cheddar or whatever you have on hand.

    Parmesan Cheese - I recommend grating fresh parmesan off the block, but you can also use pre-shredded parmesan.

    Milk - Vitamin D and low fat milk both work great in this recipe. You can also use nut milk.

    Butter - I used unsalted butter, so if you are using salted, you may want to skip the extra salt in this recipe.

    Salt - I almost always use sea salt in my recipes but you can also use regular table salt. - Skip if using salted butter.

    Black Pepper - I prefer fresh cracked black pepper but you can also use ground black pepper.

    Garlic Powder - Adds a delicious garlicky flavor to the potatoes. Be sure to use garlic powder and not garlic salt.

    Tools to have for this recipe:

    • Large Saucepan - To boil the potatoes in.
    • Potato Masher - To mash the potatoes.
    • Colander - To drain the water from the potatoes.
    • Measuring cups + Spoons - For properly measuring all of your ingredients.
    • Peeler - To peel the potatoes prior to boiling.
    • Cutting Board + Chef Knife- For slicing/preparing the potatoes prior to cooking.
