My Rendition of Pioneer Woman's Mashed Potatoes

Submitted by caitlinalicetaylor

"I love Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman). Here is my spin on her recipe. All measurements and times are approximate."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 10

ingredients

• 1 lb red potatoes (Skin on or off)
• 4 -6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 ounces Philadelphia Cream Cheese
• 1⁄4 cup sour cream
• 1 dash half-and-half
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 2 teaspoons white pepper

directions

1. Place chopped potatoes in a pot of boiling water. Leave the skins on or off according to your preference. I like texture so I left the skins on.
2. Let potatoes boil until soft or about 15 mintues.
3. Drain and place back in pot. Turn heat on low and let the potatoes steam for a minute or two. You want them to release a little steam so they do not get watered down or grainy.
4. 4 Mash potatoes a bit, then add butter. Once butter is particularly incorporated add 4 oz of cream cheese.
5. Next add sour cream and incorporate. If the mixture needs to be thinned add some half and half to the mixture.
6. Add salt and pepper to taste.
