Amazingly Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Submitted by TLC143927

"Just by adding this secret ingredient you get super creamy and heavenly tasting potatoes. I usually don't peel my potatoes for the extra nutrients but peel for a more creamy texture. I use 1/% milk by choice but for even more creaminess use 2% or whole. Even if you don't like cream cheese (like me) you'll love this!"

Delicious! I made them exactly as described and they turned out perfectly. The description is true, I don't like cream cheese either, which is why I chose this recipe. I was tring to use up my cream cheese in a way that would be okay with my taste buds! The cream cheese was not detectable, but the mashed potatoes had wonderful flavor without too much fat. This will become a weekly event for us! Thanks TLC:)
