Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes is always my love. Oh...I just love the creamiest of this mashed potatoes.

I have tried a few times before Mr W concluded this recipe will be the one I will make in future. But I am still thinking of altering it. *Lol. We shall see how it goes.

Ingredients (Serves 4)
5 large russet potatoes, peeled & cubed
80 ml sour cream
3 cloves of garlic, finely minced.
1 cube of chicken bullion 
100g cream cheese
100g butter
Salt & pepper, to taste
Oregano flakes, to taste

Method
1. In a large pot of boiling water, cook the potatoes, garlic and bouillon until potatoes are soft.
2. Sieve the potatoes and garlic, place them in a large bowl. Reserve the water. 
3. Mash the potatoes. Add in the sour cream and cream cheese; incorporate them into the mashed potatoes. Add the reserved water to it, if needed. 
4. Add the butter and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. 
5. Sprinkle the oregano flakes before serving. 

Simple and easy. 

Note: 
1. This dish can be prepared a day ahead. Place the mashed potatoes *without adding butter into a slow cooker and allow it to slow cooked on low. Before serving, add in the butter and season it with salt & pepper. 
2. To achieve a smoother mashed potatoes, you can whisk it.
