    My grandmother made hers a tad lumpy with lots of butter and a dash of paprika, loads of black pepper or sometimes covered with cheddar cheese. My mom makes hers completely smooth and so decadently creamy.

    My husbands are always heavy on the garlic and his mother's made only with margarine instead of butter. Everyone has their own spin on mashed potatoes. I seem to always be borrowing someone else's and decided to whip up some of my own.

    These are creamy, with lots of butter, and fabulous flavor from the garlic and herb feta cheese.  They are easy enough for a weeknight meal, and fancy enough for a holiday dinner.  I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

    🧂 Ingredients

    • red bliss potatoes
    • butter room temperature
    • heavy cream or whole milk
    • garlic and herb feta cheese
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

    This is meant to be a brief overview of this feta cheese mashed potatoes recipe. For step-by-step instructions and a full printable recipe card with ingredients, please scroll down to the teal box below or Jump to Recipe.

    🔪Instructions

    1. Peel only half of the potatoes (optional), and cut them in half. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. The water should be about an inch higher than the potatoes. Add a dash of salt to the pot.
    2. Bring to a boil, add salt and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.
    3. Drain potatoes well. Put then back in the pot and cook over low heat to evaporate the rest of the water.
    4. Mash in the butter. Add heavy cream a little at a time until desired consistency reached. Fold in almost all of the feta, reserving some for the top of the dish. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
    5. Garnish with the remaining feta cheese and serve immediately.

        Sierra, they take about 25 minutes to whip up and will serve 4-6.
