Now, to make these potatoes the life of the party, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of potatoes (preferably Russet or Yukon Gold)
  • 4 cloves of garlic (because who doesn’t want to ward off vampires?)
  • 1/2 cup of cream cheese (for that creamy goodness)
  • 1/2 cup of sour cream (optional but highly recommended)
  • 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (the more, the merrier)
  • 1/4 cup of butter (don’t skimp on butter, folks)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (season it like you mean it)
  • Chives or green onions for garnish (because a sprinkle of green makes everything better)

Instructions

  1. Peel those potatoes and chop them into even-sized chunks. We want them to cook evenly—no lumpy potatoes allowed!
  2. Boil a pot of salted water and toss in those potato chunks along with the garlic. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. You know they’re ready when you can easily pierce them with a fork.
  3. Drain the potatoes and garlic, but don’t forget to keep a little bit of the cooking water. Trust us, it’s liquid gold!
  4. Return the potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add in the cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, butter, and a splash of the reserved cooking water. Mash that all together like you mean it!
  5. Season generously with salt and pepper, tasting as you go. You want every bite to be a flavor explosion!
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chives or green onions. Watch as everyone dives in with glee, because who can resist the charm of cheesy garlic bliss?

And there you have it—creamy, dreamy garlic cheesy mashed potatoes that are sure to steal the show at any meal. Enjoy every golden bite and don’t forget to share… or maybe keep them all to yourself. No judgment here!
