Amy Jean’s Kitchen: Stovetop Mashed Potatoes (Pioneer Woman: Dinnertime)

I LOVE potatoes in any form so I am always on the hunt for a

good recipe involving them. These stovetop mashed potatoes

from the Pioneer Woman are honestly some of the best mashed

potatoes I have ever had. They are smooth, creamy, and taste

amazing. Definitely a great recipe to use for any dinner.

Ingredients:

2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled or unpeeled

and scrubbed clean (your preference)

1 cup whole milk

½ cup (1 stick) butter

¼ cup heavy cream, more to taste

Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

4 ounces cream cheese

.

Steps:

1.) Cut the potatoes into wedges. In a pot or large saucepan, boil

them in water over medium-high heat until fork-tender, about 25

minutes. Pour them into a colander to drain them, then set aside.

.

2.) Return the same pot to the stovetop over medium heat and

add the milk, butter, cream, and salt and pepper to taste.

.

3.) Stir to heat the milk mixture and melt the butter, then add

the cream cheese and stir as it melts. 

.

4.) When the mixture is melted and creamy, throw in the

potatoes and turn off the heat.

.

5.) Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until they’re

totally smooth. Put the lid on the pan and keep warm, splashing

in a couple tablespoons of cream if you need to reheat them.
