A delightful twist on classic mashed potatoes, enhanced with a blend of herbs and a creamy texture.
Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized chunks.
Cutting the potatoes into uniform pieces ensures they cook evenly.
Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Adding salt to the water enhances the flavor of the potatoes as they cook.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them lightly to release steam.
Mashing the potatoes while hot helps achieve a smoother texture.
Add the butter, cream cheese, sour cream, and herb blend to the potatoes. Mix using an electric mixer on low speed until combined.
Start mixing on low speed to prevent splattering and ensure even blending.
Increase the mixer speed to high and beat until the potatoes are smooth and fluffy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Adding a splash of milk can help achieve the desired consistency.
Serve the mashed potatoes warm, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
For a festive touch, sprinkle with fresh herbs or a drizzle of melted butter before serving.
