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.

What an excellent flavor and so creamy! I loved this recipe and will definitely make it again and again. The only change I made was with the onion salt since I didn't have any. Instead I added 1 1/2 tsp salt and some garlic powder. Thanks for the great recipe!
Update: I made this again and added some chopped green onions and topped with shredded cheddar cheese before I put it in the oven and this was HEAVENLY!

I was really impressed with this dish. It was super easy and very tasty. My family really enjoyed it. We will definitely make these again. Thanks for sharing!

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!
