1 Make the Mashed Potatoes
Peel potatoes, if desired, and cut into large evenly-sized chunks. Bring a medium pot with potato chunks covered by water to a boil.
Once boiling, cook until fork-tender, 14-18 minutes.Remove from burner. Reserve 1/2 cup potato cooking water. Drain potatoes in a colander and return to pot. Add 1/3 the cream cheese (reserve remaining for gravy), garlic salt, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper and mash until smooth and combined. If too thick, add reserved potato cooking water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.Cover and set aside.While potatoes cook, continue recipe. -
