I’ve made several different mashed potato recipes here on the blog. These Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes are so simple to make and so creamy and well perfect!
Make these Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes:
Let’s get cooking! Start by washing, peeling, and dicing potatoes then place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and allow them to cook until tender. Once tender drain water out and then return to stove top on low heat. Add cream cheese and butter and use a potato masher to mash potatoes. Add in salt and pepper and mix. Add half and half and mashed again. Use a hand mixer to get really creamy potato texture. Add more milk as needed for a thinner texture.
