Ingredients

3 pounds yukon gold potatoes small
6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup cream cheese softened

Instructions

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted cold water. The potatoes will soak up that salt like pasta and it will make a big difference in flavor. Cover and bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
Drain the potatoes, and return them to the same pot, allowing them to dry. Melt the butter with the half-and-half in a small saucepan over low heat.
Add to the potatoes along with the cream cheese and season with salt and pepper. Smash with a potato masher and set aside, keeping warm until ready to serve.
