Mashed Potatoes With Cream Cheese

Chef Dee's Note:

I was surprised I couldn't find this recipe here. It is the only mashed potato recipe I use for the holidays,as it is even better made a day ahead. Not only is it delicious, but it's one less pot to wash when you want to enjoy your company. This also makes a nice potluck dish.

Great potatoes. I halved the recipe for a dinner party of only 4 and had plenty of leftovers. I used a 1/2 tsp onion powder (didn't have onion salt) and 1 tsp garlic salt. Didn't have a ton of garlic or onion flavor but that is what I was looking for as I served with Crock Pot Roman Lamb on this site which I wanted to stand out more. I also used 1/3 fat cream cheese because that is what I had on hand and I dotted with butter before baking. I am definitely saving this recipe and will use in the future when I want just classic creamy mashies! Thanks Chef Dee!

very good, my family hates cream cheese and loves these. Huge time savor at holidays as I do it day before. Just put a few dots of butter on top when baking, and a little paprika makes it so tasteful looking.

Really good but I ran out of time and made with instant. Nana's Best, which are horrible instant potatoes, were really good with this. 3 pouches with 8 cups of boiling water, then proceeded with the rest of the recipe. Used garlic salt instead of onion salt. Whipped in the mixer.
