The Secret to Perfect Steakhouse Mashed Potatoes Revealed
Ingredients
- 6 cup Chicken Broth
- 5 lb Red Potatoes Unpeeled
- 5 clove Garlic
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 4 oz Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk
- Salt&Pepper To Taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the 6 cups of chicken broth to a boil. This will prevent the potatoes from oxidizing.
- Add the evenly sized red potato pieces to the boiling broth. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, which should take approximately 15-20 minutes. Test their tenderness by piercing with a fork or toothpick.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher or a garlic press to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and free of lumps.
- Cut the unsalted butter into smaller pieces and add it to the mixture. Continue mixing until the butter is fully melted, and the potatoes have a creamy consistency.
- Add the cream cheese and mix until it is well incorporated into the potatoes, making them rich and creamy.
- Pour in the buttermilk and continue to mix until the desired consistency is achieved. Add it in increments if necessary.
- Season your mashed potatoes with salt and pepper according to your taste. Start with a pinch or two and adjust as needed.
- Serve the restaurant-style garlic mashed potatoes immediately while they are still hot. Optionally, garnish with chopped chives for a delightful finish.
