Creamy Weeknight Mashed Potatoes

How to make Creamy Weeknight Mashed Potatoes Recipe - I don’t think there is anything that makes my oldest son happier than mashed potatoes. The kid could eat them by the bowlful. I love this quick and simple potato recipe that is doable even during busy weeknights. These mashed potatoes are seasoned just right and are the perfect side for just about any entrée.

Ingredients:
2 1⁄2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and diced into about 1-inch pieces
4 tablespoons (1⁄2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1⁄2 cup warm milk
1⁄4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1⁄2 teaspoon garlic salt

Method:
1. Heat the potatoes in a Dutch oven or large pot filled three-quarters full with water over high heat. When the water comes to a boil, cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the water, then transfer the potatoes to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat until the potatoes begin to break up. Add the butter, cream cheese, milk, sour cream, salt, pepper, and garlic salt and beat until creamy.
