The Best Mashed Potatoes

3–1/2 pounds Harvest Haven potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces

1/3 cup butter 

5-ounce shredded Parmesan cheese (about 1-1/4 cups) 

1/4 cup fresh chopped chives 

4 ounces cream cheese, softened 

1 heaping tablespoon fresh Harvest Haven minced garlic

1/2 cup milk 

Salt and pepper, to taste

Bring salted water (about 2 tablespoons of salt – more or less to taste) to a boil in a large saucepan.

Add potatoes and gently boil until tender, but not falling apart (about 12-15 minutes). Drain and return to pot. Cover and cook on low heat for 1-2 minutes to dry potatoes.

Add remaining ingredients and mash with a potato masher until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper.
