Very creamy and fluffy mashed potatoes that went so well with our Thanksgiving dinner. I went ahead and used water to boil the potatoes, milk instead of half and half, and two eggs since I added about 3 more large potatoes. Next time I will try the chicken broth and half and half. Also used about 1/2 cup of sour cream and a 1 1/2 sticks of butter. Sweets another great recipe that I will make again.

Also refer to Recipe #191490 regarding this review! Well, here's the scoop from Thanksgiving Dinner. My daughter, home from college for a few days, specifically requested Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes. Anyway, I found 2 of Kittencal's recipes that sounded yummy (Recipe #191490 & Recipe #201865) and I kind of mixed the 2 together. Basically I used the Recipe #191490 but made the following changes inspired by Recipe #201865 and it turned out A+++! I used the following: 1 49 oz. can Fat Free Chicken Broth instead of water to cook the potatoes, 10 Yukon Gold Potatoes instead of 8 large Russet Potatoes, 8 oz. fat free cream cheese, approx. 1/3 cup sour cream (perhaps a little more), I did not have onion powder so I left this out and I didn't use the shredded cheddar cheese. Anyway, the family absolutely RAVED about them! Thanks so much Kittencal for making my daughter mashed potatoes what she really wanted!
