10 LB MASHED POTATOES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces that are generally the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for 30 to 35 minutes. When they’re cooked through, the fork should easily slide into the potatoes with no resistance, and the potatoes should almost, but not totally, fall apart.
• Drain the potatoes in a large colander. When the potatoes have finished draining, place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, allowing all the steam to escape, before adding in all the other ingredients.
• Turn off the stove and add 1 ½ sticks of butter, an 8-ounce package of cream cheese and about ½ cup of half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Next, add about ½ teaspoon of Lawry’s Seasoning Salt and ½ a teaspoon of black pepper.
• Stir well and place in a medium-sized baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place them in a 350-degree oven and heat until butter is melted and potatoes are warmed through.

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot. Add 1 1/2 cups water and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Secure the lid and set the pressure valve to sealing. Using the pressure-cooking mode, set to 10 minutes. (Note that it will take some time for the pressure to build up; from there, the automatic 10-minute clock begins!)
• When the cook time is up, with a wooden spoon, carefully turn the valve to venting to let the pressure release quickly. After the pressure has been fully released (you’ll see the button pop down), remove the lid. There may be some water on the bottom of the pot; if there is any, remove the insert and drain the water off.
• Mash the potatoes, letting as much steam escape as possible. Add the butter, cream cheese, half-and-half, heavy cream, seasoned salt, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and the pepper to the potatoes. Stir until everything is melted and combined. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
• Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, sprinkle with extra pepper and top with a pat of butter.
