Ricer was a game changer for me!! I love mashed potatoes but rarely made them because peeling while hot was such a pain. Now I make them all the time.

My Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients
• 4 lb Potatoes, try Yukon Gold or russet
• 8 oz Cream Cheese
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 1/2 cup Butter, 1 stick
• 8 oz Sour Cream
• Salt
• White Pepper
• Better than Bouillon , start with 1-1 1/2 tsp
 • Parmesan cheese

Preparation Steps
1. Start in cold water, Boil scrubbed potatoes until cooked through (whole or half, do not cut into chunks)
2. Add cut up cream cheese to 1/2 cup milk. Microwave until warm and cream cheese softens.
3. Cut up butter and place at bottom of mixing bowl.
4. Drain potatoes. If using a masher, use your hands to peel hot potatoes into bowl so butter melts. (Dipping hands in ice water helps). If using a river, no need to remove peels. Cut potatoes into pieces that fit the river basket. And rice into the bowl with butter. 
5. If using a masher, add the warm milk little by little while mashing. You can use a mixer, on low, to help, just don’t over mix. If using a ricer, mix using a mixing spoon or strong scraper. 
6. While incorporating the butter, milk and cream cheese, also add sour cream and better than bouillon. Add salt and be sparing with white pepper. (Can use black pepper, but you’ll see the flecks). 
7. If it tastes flat or like it’s missing something, add more salt. Keep tasting and adding salt, white pepper, better than bouillon to taste. Add more milk if it’s too stiff. 
8. Place in casserole dish. Bake (whatever the other items in your meal are being cooked at 350-425 degrees), covered, to heat up 20-30 mins.
9. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and broil until brown.
