Ingredients
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 5 pounds russet potatoes, washed and peeled
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon salt
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Begin by peeling and rinsing 5 pounds of russet potatoes.
Cut them into 1-2 inch chunks and place the cut potatoes into a large pot.
Pour in enough chicken broth (about 6-8 cups) to cover the potatoes.
Step 2: Cook the Potatoes
Place the pot on the stove over high heat and bring the chicken broth and potatoes to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 3: Prepare Dairy Mixture
While the potatoes are simmering, add 1/2 cup of salted butter and 8 ounces of cream cheese to a large mixing bowl.
This will allow the butter and cream cheese to start softening, making mixing easier later.
Step 4: Combine Potatoes and Dairy
Once the potatoes are tender, drain most of the chicken broth from the pot, leaving a little liquid with the potatoes.
Carefully pour the hot potatoes and the remaining liquid over the butter and cream cheese in the mixing bowl.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 3/4 cup of buttermilk.
Step 5: Mash and Mix
Use a hand mixer or a potato masher to mix the potatoes until they are light, fluffy, and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
Adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed.
Step 6: Serve
Serve the mashed potatoes hot, alongside your favorite main dish.
Enjoy!
