Ingredients
 

  • 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, cubed
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons butter, salted
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chives, diced, fresh or dried (optional)

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Add cubed potatoes and fresh garlic cloves to a large stockpot. Pour chicken stock in, and set to medium-high heat. Allow to come to a boil, then cover, boiling for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork.
  • Drain the cooked potatoes and garlic in a colander, then return back to the pot. Adjust the burner to low heat.
    • I usually mash potatoes directly in the pot with a potato masher, because I dont mind a few small lumps. But, if you want them perfectly smooth, I recommend running the hot potatoes and cooked garlic cloves through a potato ricer after draining. Then, return the riced potatoes to the pot to finish up.
  • Gently mash the potatoes with a potato masher to begin to break them up. Add cream cheese, butter, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Continue to mash until the potatoes are creamy and minimal lumps remain.
  • Remove from heat, add sour cream and chives. Whip to combine. Serve warm.
