Ingredients
  

  • 5 lbs Russet OR Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons + 1½ teaspoons salt, divided
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • For garnish: fresh chopped chives

Instructions
 

  • Peel the potatoes and cut into 2 inch pieces. Place in a large pot and cover the potatoes with water. Add 2 tablespoons salt to the water.
  • Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15–20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and place them back in the pot. Let the potatoes sit for 5 minutes to let them dry out a bit.
  • Add the cream cheese, butter, parmesan, cheddar, and remaining 1½ teaspoons salt to the pot. Mash with a potato masher until smooth.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and top with fresh chives and additional parmesan or cheddar.
