How to Make
- 1.
Boil the potatoes just right
Peel and cube the potatoes, then boil them in salted water until they’re soft. You’ll know they’re ready when a fork goes through easily, with no resistance. This step lays the base for the perfect cheese potato recipe, so don’t rush it.

Let the steam do its thing
Once boiled, drain the water completely. Let the potatoes sit in the hot pan for about a minute to release excess steam. This keeps your mashed potatoes with cream cheese light and fluffy, not watery.

Mash like you mean it
Use a potato masher or the back of a sturdy spoon to mash them up. Smooth is the goal, no big chunks. A little elbow grease now means a dreamy texture later!
- 4.
Butter makes it better
Add butter to the hot mash and let it melt in. This adds richness and a silky finish, setting the stage for the creamy cheese to shine.

Time for The Laughing Cow magic
