Print Recipe

A creamy, flavorful mashed potato recipe featuring Yukon Gold potatoes, butter, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, garlic, and fresh chives, perfect for holiday meals or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • Salt, to taste (for boiling and seasoning)

Instructions

  1. Peel and quarter the Yukon Gold potatoes.
  2. Place potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Add a couple tablespoons of salt.
