Mashed potatoes, cream cheese, sour cream… what’s not to love here?! What kind of potatoes should be used in this recipe?

How do you make whipped mashed potatoes? To achieve the perfect, fluffy, whipped mashed potatoes, use a stand mixer to fluff the cooked potatoes before adding any other ingredients. Cream cheese, sour cream, milk, and butter make great, creamy mashed potatoes, but these can also weigh them down so be sure to fluff those potatoes first!

Then, cover and reduce heat to simmer for about 25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Drain potatoes and transfer them to a stand mixer. Beat lightly until mashed. Add remaining ingredients and beat on medium until all ingredients are well combined. How long will these mashed potatoes store? Mashed potatoes can be kept safely in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Be sure to store it in a container with a tight lid. Can these mashed potatoes be frozen? Absolutely!
