Presenting my all-time favorite mashed potatoes recipe! These homemade mashed potatoes are perfectly rich and creamy, full of great flavor, easy to make, and always a crowd fave.
Friends! It has come to my attention that in nine years of blogging, I have somehow neglected to share with you my go-to recipe for this most classic of classic side dishes, which simply will not do with Thanksgiving — the ultimate celebration of side dishes — just around the corner.
So today, allow me to present my tried-and-true, back-pocket, made-’em-a-million-times, always-a-crowd-fave, all-time-favorite mashed potatoes recipe. ♡
Now of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion about exactly what constitutes the best mashed potatoes recipe. But if I’m the one put in charge potatoes for Thanksgiving, this recipe is my idea of perfection. These mashed potatoes are indulgently buttery, creamy, tangy, and made with a subtle hint of garlic (or you’re welcome to add much more, if you’d like). They are perfectly dense and thick (not the whipped and ultra-light variety). They feature not one, but two popular kinds of potatoes (whose skins you are welcome to leave on or peel off). They can be mashed as smooth or as chunky as you prefer. Oh, and they’re also incredibly easy to make ahead of time and reheat in the microwave if you have a busy menu lineup and would like to prep them ahead of time.
Basically, they’re total winners, and I’m pretty sure you’re going to love them too. So if you’re looking for a winning homemade mashed potatoes recipe, bookmark this one and my favorite mushroom gravy and let’s mash some potatoes together!

5 Tips For How To Make The Best Mashed Potatoes
Alright, before we get to the actual recipe, here are a few essential mashed potato tips to always keep in mind:
Use a blend of potatoes. Some people have a strong preference for starchy Russet potatoes or buttery Yukon golds, but I highly recommend using a 50/50 mixture of both! It’s a tip I picked up from The New York Times years ago, and I’m convinced that the mixture gives you the best of both worlds.
Avoid waterlogging your potatoes. Too much water is the enemy of mashed potatoes, but the good news is that it’s easy to avoid. Simply:
Cut your potatoes before boiling. I know, so many of us grew up boiling whole potatoes. But the problem is that large, whole potatoes cook unevenly. So instead, cut your potatoes into evenly sized smaller pieces for quick and even boiling.
Don’t overboil. Or maybe the tip should be, don’t multitask too much near the end of the potatoes’ cooking time. ;) You want to keep a close eye on them. As soon as a dinner knife can be inserted easily into a potato with minimal resistance, they’re ready to go.
Pan “dry” after cooking. Immediately after the potatoes have been drained, return them to the hot stockpot, and place it back on the hot burner over low heat. Hold the stockpot handles with oven mitts, and gently shake the pan for about 1 minute to release some of the steam and moisture from the potatoes. Then remove the pan from the heat and set it aside, and your potatoes will be ready to mash
Don’t overmix! In general, you want to stir the liquids into your mashed potatoes until they are just combined. Otherwise if you overmix, they can crossover into gummy territory, which is no good.
Season with salt along the way. We will use fine sea salt to season the potatoes both (1) in the water while they are boiling and (2) afterwards, when adding in the butter, milk and cream cheese. As always when seasoning a recipe, taste-taste-taste along the way while you are preparing the recipe, and add more salt as needed.
Invest in your preferred kind of masher. If you like slightly chunky mashed potatoes, I recommend this OXO masher. If you like smooth mashed potatoes, I recommend this smooth OXO masher.
Mashed Potato Ingredients
Ok, before we get to the full recipe at the bottom of this post, here are a list of the ingredients you’ll need to make this homemade mashed potatoes recipe:
Potatoes: As mentioned above, I’m a big fan of using a mixture of half Yukon gold potatoes and half Russets. It gives you the best of both worlds — starchy and waxy potatoes — and they cook alongside one another beautifully. Although you are welcome to use just one variety of potatoes, if you prefer.
Garlic: When serving these to a crowd, I like to add just 2-3 cloves to give just a subtle undertone of garlic to the recipe. But if making them for myself, I will toss in up to a dozen cloves. I adore good garlic mashed potatoes.
Butter: When I eat mashed potatoes, I go all-out and want them to taste nice and buttery. We don’t add as much butter here as many recipes do, because the other ingredients help to make them nice and creamy, but you are of course welcome to add in more butter if you would like. If you are eating dairy-free and/or vegan, feel free to use vegan butter.
Milk: I always use whole cow’s milk in my mashed potatoes. But you are welcome to amp things up with half and half or heavy cream, if you prefer. Or alternately, you can use a lighter milk or plain plant-based milk.
Cream Cheese: I always grew up making mashed potatoes with cream cheese and enjoy the slight extra tangy and creaminess that it adds. Be sure that your cream cheese is room temperature and cut into small 1-inch chunks, for easy melting into the potatoes.
Fine sea salt: Which we will use to season the potatoes at different points while cooking. (If you only have iodized table salt on hand, note that its flavor is different and stronger so you will need to use a bit less.)
Toppings (Optional): I like to sprinkle on some chopped chives or green onions, for some extra color and freshness. Plus lots and lots of freshly-cracked black pepper. But feel free to add on what you’d like!
How To Make Mashed Potatoes
To make mashed potatoes, simply…
Cut the potatoes. Again, feel free to peel your potatoes or leave the skins on. (I always leave them on for the extra nutrients and flavor.) Then cut your potatoes into evenly-sized chunks, about an inch or so thick. Then transfer them to a large stockpot full of cold water until all of the potatoes are cut and ready to go.
Pro tip: If you are prepping ingredients for a big meal ahead of time, the potatoes can chill in the cold water for up to 4 hours before boiling. Just add a few ice cubes to the water to be sure that it stays cold.
Boil the potatoes. Once all of your potatoes are cut, be sure that there is enough cold water in the pan so that the water line sits about 1 inch above the potatoes. Add the garlic and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Then turn on high heat until the water comes to a boil. And boil the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes until a knife inserted in the middle of a potato goes in with almost no resistance. Carefully drain out all of the water.
Prepare your melted butter mixture. Meanwhile, as the potatoes are boiling, heat your butter, milk and an additional 2 teaspoons of sea salt together either in a small saucepan or in the microwave until the butter is just melted. (You want to avoid boiling the milk.) Set aside until ready to use.
Pan-dry the potatoes. Return the potatoes to the hot stockpot, and then place the stockpot back on the hot burner, turning the heat down to low. Using two oven mitts, carefully hold the handles on the stockpot and shake it gently on the burner for about 1 minute to help cook off some of the remaining steam within the potatoes. Then remove the stockpot entirely from the heat.
Mash the potatoes. Using your preferred kind of masher (see above), mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.
Stir everything together. Then pour half of the melted butter mixture over the potatoes, and fold it in with a wooden spoon or spatula until potatoes have soaked up the liquid. Repeat with the remaining butter. And then again with the cream cheese. Fold each addition in until just combined to avoid overmixing, or else you will end up with gummy potatoes.
Taste and season. One final time, adding in extra salt (plus black pepper, if you would like) to taste.
Serve warm. Then serve warm, garnished with any extra toppings that you might like, and enjoy!! ♡
Garlic mashed potatoes: To make your mashed potatoes extra garlicky, feel free to double or triple the amount of garlic added to this recipe. Or, feel free to roast a head of garlic while the potatoes are boiling and add the roasted cloves to the mash for extra-rich flavor.
Loaded mashed potatoes: To make loaded mashed potatoes, add in lots of shredded cheddar, crispy bacon and chopped green onions. And if you’d like to add a kick, sliced jalapeños are always a great idea!
Vegan mashed potatoes: To make these potatoes vegan, sub in vegan butter, plain almond milk, and vegan cream cheese (or omit the cream cheese entirely, if you would like).
Mashed sweet potatoes: To make mashed sweet potatoes, simply sub in sweet potatoes in place of your Russets and Yukon golds.
Mashed red potatoes: If you happen to be partial to red potatoes, this recipe will also work well using 100% red potatoes.
Good news — if you are interested in make-ahead mashed potatoes, there are a few different ways that you can prep this recipe ahead of time and then reheat it without sacrificing good texture. Feel free to:
Soak the uncooked potatoes for up to 4 hours: If you would like to prep just the raw potatoes ahead of time, they can hold in a stockpot (or large bowl) of cold water for up to 4 hours. You can either store this in the fridge, or just add in a couple of ice cubes every few hours to keep the water cold.
Make ahead and refrigerate, then rewarm: If you are cooking your mashed potatoes longer in advance, transfer them to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap or an airtight lid (leaving at least an inch of space between the surface of the potatoes and the wrap/lid). Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Then you can either reheat the potatoes in the:
Microwave: Poke a few holes in the plastic wrap and microwave the potatoes on 75% power until hot, stirring every 3-4 minutes.
Crock-Pot: Transfer potatoes to a slow cooker and heat on “high” for 1 hour, covered, or until hot.
Instant Pot: Transfer potatoes to a pressure cooker and heat on the “warm” setting for 1 hour, covered, or until hot.
Oven: Transfer potatoes to a large stockpot and heat, covered, at 350°F for 30 minutes or until hot.

Ingredients
Scale
5 pounds potatoes (I use half Yukon Gold, half Russet potatoes)
2 large cloves garlic, minced
fine sea salt
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup whole milk
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
toppings: chopped fresh chives or green onions, freshly-cracked black pepper
Instructions
Cut the potatoes. Feel free to peel your potatoes or leave the skins on. Then cut them into evenly-sized chunks, about an inch or so thick, and transfer them to a large stockpot full of cold water.
Boil the potatoes. Once all of your potatoes are cut, be sure that there is enough cold water in the pan so that the water line sits about 1 inch above the potatoes. Stir the garlic and 1 tablespoon sea salt into the water. Then turn the heat to high and cook until the water comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high (or whatever temperature is needed to maintain the boil) and continue cooking for about 10-12 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle of a potato goes in easily with almost no resistance. Carefully drain out all of the water.
Prepare your melted butter mixture. Meanwhile, as the potatoes are boiling, heat the butter, milk and an additional 2 teaspoons of sea salt together either in a small saucepan or in the microwave until the butter is just melted. (You want to avoid boiling the milk.) Set aside until ready to use.
Pan-dry the potatoes. After draining the water, immediately return the potatoes to the hot stockpot, place it back on the hot burner, and turn the heat down to low. Using two oven mitts, carefully hold the handles on the stockpot and shake it gently on the burner for about 1 minute to help cook off some of the remaining steam within the potatoes. Remove the stockpot entirely from the heat and set it on a flat, heatproof surface.
Mash the potatoes. Using your preferred kind of potato masher (I recommend this one in general, or this one for extra-smooth), mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.
Stir everything together. Then pour half of the melted butter mixture over the potatoes, and fold it in with a wooden spoon or spatula until potatoes have soaked up the liquid. Repeat with the remaining butter, and then again with the cream cheese, folding in each addition in until just combined to avoid over-mixing. (Feel free to add in more warm milk to reach your desired consistency, if needed.)
Taste and season. One final time, taste the potatoes and season with extra salt if needed.
Serve warm. Then serve warm, garnished with gravy or any extra toppings that you might like, and enjoy!
These were the best mashed potatoes I have ever made. I was shocked how good they were, so was my husband. Lol
I thought I made good mashies but not like this! Thank you for sharing!!!
Hello, I noticed a few people asked about the “make ahead” option. I’m going to do that, but, is there anything I should add to the stockpot, or literally follow your transfer instructions?
Thank you
WOW, these potatoes were so easy to make and so so delicious! Didn’t need to tweak the recipe at all! Definitely will never need another recipe for mashed potatoes again, everyone loved them!!

Great recipe! Save the hassle of melting the cream cheese and butter, and adding it back-and-forth. My butter and cream cheese is already soft before I start, so I just cut them up in squares and put it in the bottom of a big stainless steel bowl that I’m gonna mash the potatoes in. Then once I drain the potatoes, I just add the hot potatoes on top of the butter and cream cheese, and use a mixer to beat it all together. EASY. DELICIOUS.
I never succeeded Mashed potato in my son’s taste…I just made this recipe for Thanksgiving dinner and it tastes amazing! My son says ‘it’s perfect and don’t add anything more’. Thanks for the recipe!
I am a very old lady and these are the best mashed potatoes I’ve ever eaten. I even used the lower-calorie cream cheese. My only adjustment would be to leave out the salt if you are serving these with ham gravy.
These are hands down the best mashed potatoes. So easy to make, and they reheat like a dream! I’ve made them the last 3 Thanksgivings and they always turn out perfect. I like to leave the skin on the taters and I use a potato ricer for ultimately silkiness!
The flavor was good but the potatoes needed to be boiled for a lot longer, there were lots of big potato clumps in my mashed potatoes unfortunately. Make sure you boil them enough!
Hi! I used this recipe for Christmas and it was DELICIOUS! I really loved how the potatoes came out smooth, creamy, and thick. I added a bit more salt and pepper to my liking, but overall my family enjoyed it. I am not much of a cook myself, but your detailed instructions guided me very well making the process less overwhelming. Thank you so much and I hope to find more of your recipes in the future! XOXO
These are the best mashed potatoes ever! Followed your recipe to a T and they were perfect. Made them three days ahead of Boxing Day, refrigerated and then warmed in the crockpot for an hour on high and they were fluffy and hot and delicious. Made my life so much easier, thank you!
Just made these. OMG – delish! I’m not even a fan of mashed taters – but was assigned these to bring to a turkey dinner. And it’s the first time I’ve made smashed taters! I boiled the milk and butter (ooops!), but used a slotted spoon to get most of the curdles out, then a citrus zest er to get some more…. And when I tasted it there were some lumps in it, but I rather appreciated the added texture…. Anywho – this is a keeper! Even with my boo boos…
If you dranch it into much milk, just put it in the oven with everything else for about 10 minutes. That’ll dry it up then add cream cheese to make it a little wetter
everyone love a great mashed potatoe recipe…i been making them for years trying to perfect them I always add hot milk that seems to work for me. Im always trying to perfect tthem if anyone can give me some amazing tips id be pleased to hear. “happy cooking”
Question – the minced garlic goes in while boiling? When you drain, should there still be garlic with the potatoes to mash? I’ve never boiled garlic before…
Great recipe. Followed pretty much to exact. The only thing I changed was I used a whole stick of butter and 6 ounces cream cheese. Best mashed potatoes ever. They were a hit with the family. I’ll be using this recipe for now on. Thank you!!!
Potatoes could have been silkier. More milk, cream cheese and butter. I didn’t mash the potatoes before adding the melted butter and warm milk plus salt. I’m not sure what waiting until I’d mashed the potatoes would’ve done.
Wow! This recipe produced the best mp’s I’ve ever made, and I’ve made a lot, and possibly the best I’ve ever eaten. Follow the recipe and you won’t be disappointed. I only had russet, so will blend the 2 types next time. For 10 lbs of potatoes, I used 8 cloves of garlic, doubled the milk, butter and cream cheese, and dumped in lots of fresh chives. Mashed them while they were drying, then just stirred in the milk and cream cheese. Creamy, light and incredible. Thanks for the recipe!
My mom makes the absolute best mashed potatoes in the world. But these are actually slightly better. I followed the recipe amounts exactly, but used ghee with pink Himalayan salt, rather than regular butter. And I used raw whole milk, because that’s what we already had. I think the ghee makes all the difference. I also added some rosemary at the end when mixing. I used the chopping function on my Ninja food processor because I don’t have a masher, but pulsing about 15 times I’d say (which only took 1-2 mins) made the perfect consistency! I will definitely be making again, with my slight alterations! Thank you so much, I’ve never come close to any of my mom’s classics!
I do not like cream cheese , so would I add more butter and milk to make up the difference if so how much of each , Also I am making them the night before so thank you for this recipe .
This is literally the BEST mashed potato recipe I’ve ever tried…or had. I’m so thankful for the suggestions & tricks to making them the very best. I will say that I don’t measure the milk. I had it as needed. This has been a staple at my house for several years, especially when I have friends &/or family over. Everyone raves about them! Thank you SO much.
I’m only 16 and I have just started to enjoy cooking. This is one of the first things I made. It was delicious. It has made me want to continue cooking. I am currently cooking salmon at the moment along with corn. I am planning to remake this again tomorrow along with dinner. Great recipe! Thank You!!!
I tried this recipe for Thanksgiving dinner and it was a great hit with adults and kids alike. Everyone loved it.
Thank you for the recipe, it was very easy to follow. Definitely a new permanent addition with turkey dinners!
Thanks for posting your recipe, Ali. I like that you’ve decided to add additional garlic and chives,… the cream cheese was good, too, however, I don’t recommend doubling the amount of dairy necessarily as it turns out soupy. The potatoes themselves had a nice texture. I used Bouchey brand of Organic Russet 🥔 and Husky brand of Russets. I liked your recommendation of mixing the two potatoes together.
Thank you Ali for posting this so so so tasty recipe for ,mashed potatoes! I asked my husband for mashed potatoes as I have been ill and I do most of the cooking, to my surprise he handed me the most delicious bowl of mashed potatoes thanks to your recipe! Keep creating and sharing!
This was wonderful! I have never made mashed potatoes with cream cheese before. So good! I subbed vegetable boullion paste for the salt when boiling the potatoes, delicious!
Just made these for Friendsgiving and they are delicious. I used salted butter and 3 garlic cloves and it came out delicious even before I creamed them. My picky daughter was won over too. Will be making these a tradition.
These are just the best!!!
Love this recipe! Question-how much flavor and desired consistency will I lose by making ahead and reheating?
We’re making these for Thanksgiving again this year and can’t wait! They’re so good!
These were the best mashed potatoes I have ever made. I was shocked how good they were, so was my husband. Lol
I thought I made good mashies but not like this! Thank you for sharing!!!
We always use Lawry’s seasoned salt in ours, which I highly recommend. Great recipe!
These are my favorite mashed potatoes of all time. Nothing fancy or unexpected…just really, really good.
I see that you add the minced garlic to the cooking water. Is the idea that the flavor will infuse into the potatoes from the water?
We made a test batch of these last night before Thanksgiving and they were fantastic!
Hello, I noticed a few people asked about the “make ahead” option. I’m going to do that, but, is there anything I should add to the stockpot, or literally follow your transfer instructions?
Thank you
This recipe using both yukon and gold potatoes was the best combination. They turned out perfect. Best flavor ever!

I used sour cream instead of cream cheese, these were excellent. And the title is true, best mashed potatoes I’ve ever had!

Way too much milk. 1/3 cup should do.
If you dranch it into much milk, just put it in the oven with everything else for about 10 minutes. That’ll dry it up then add cream cheese to make it a little wetter
everyone love a great mashed potatoe recipe…i been making them for years trying to perfect them I always add hot milk that seems to work for me. Im always trying to perfect tthem if anyone can give me some amazing tips id be pleased to hear. “happy cooking”
So yummy and fluffy!
This recipe was excellent. I didnt use the cream cheese and the mashed potatoes were still fantastic. 👍🏻 Definitely using this recipe again.
Question – the minced garlic goes in while boiling? When you drain, should there still be garlic with the potatoes to mash? I’ve never boiled garlic before…
SUCH a great recipe!
Can you freeze the mashed potatoes?
The Cream cheese never gets mentioned in the instructions. Who wrote this? Was it proofread?
C’mon.
Look at #6 in the instructions. It’s about halfway down.
Great recipe. Followed pretty much to exact. The only thing I changed was I used a whole stick of butter and 6 ounces cream cheese. Best mashed potatoes ever. They were a hit with the family. I’ll be using this recipe for now on. Thank you!!!
Made these and they’re SO good. Can you freeze the extras??
Potatoes could have been silkier. More milk, cream cheese and butter. I didn’t mash the potatoes before adding the melted butter and warm milk plus salt. I’m not sure what waiting until I’d mashed the potatoes would’ve done.
