I searched everywhere this year to find this recipe.....all I kept finding were Martha Stewart creations.....just wanted this simple one. Thanks!

This can be served just by completely combining, thoroughly cooking stovetop, then serving as a pedestal base for an oil/fat rich meat entre without the baking process. Also, do the same and make great potato croquettes! I also added some rock salt and sauteed onions in lieu of the onion salt.

These were great - and with no butter too! I've been searching for a go-to mashed potato recipe and I think I just found it :) Also, I found it doesn't need to be baked, it tastes great without the last step.

My review is the same as Parsley's. Whether the cook chooses to use full fat sour cream and cream cheese or low fat, these mashed potatoes turn out rich and creamy. I also have a love of Yukon potatoes. Drizzled a bit of fresh chives from the herb garden on each serving. Thanks for posting. This recipe will be added to my Spud Powered cookbook, Dee. cg

I've made mashed potatoes similar to this in the past (with the cream cheese and sour cream) and they always come out creamy and smooth with just a hint of richness. Even if you use reduced-fat dairy products (which I did), you still get great results. These potatoes are sure to please everyone. Thanx for a winning mashed potato recipe!
