Ingredients:

- 1/4 cup butter
- Milk (as needed for desired consistency)
- Paprika
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Boil peeled, cubed potatoes: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the peeled and cubed potatoes, and cook until tender. This should take around 15-20 minutes. |
| 2 | Drain water: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain the water thoroughly using a colander or strainer. |
| 3 | Mash potatoes: Transfer the boiled potatoes to a mixing bowl and mash them using a potato masher or fork until smooth and lump-free. |
| 4 | Add cream cheese and butter: Add the cream cheese and butter to the mashed potatoes while they are still warm. The residual heat will help in melting them and incorporating them smoothly. |
| 5 | Stir to mix: Gently fold the cream cheese and butter into the mashed potatoes until well combined. |
| 6 | Adjust consistency: Gradually add milk to the potato mixture, stirring continuously, until you reach your desired creamy consistency. Be cautious not to add too much milk, as it can make the potatoes runny. |
| 7 | Season to taste: Season the whipped potatoes with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Mix well to distribute the seasoning evenly. |
| 8 | Whip potato mixture: Using a hand mixer set on low to medium speed, whip the potato mixture until light, fluffy, and airy. This step is crucial for achieving that silky smooth texture. |
| 9 | Garnish with paprika: Transfer the whipped potatoes to a serving bowl and sprinkle generously with paprika to add a pop of color and flavor. |
| 10 | Serve hot: Serve the whipped potatoes paprika immediately while still warm, alongside your favorite main dishes or as a standalone comfort food. Enjoy the creamy goodness! |
