Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes

Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes are creamy potatoes made with Russet potatoes, cream cheese, sour cream, butter, salt and pepper for the must-have side dish for any holiday gathering.

I come from a potato loving family! I am serious- we are ALL about our potato dishes so mashed potatoes are on the table for every single holiday and a lot of family dinners. Everyone has a different idea of what “perfect” potatoes are but myself and my family, we like them thick, creamy and buttery. They have to be be the perfect consistency to hold a little (okay,  A LOT) of gravy in the middle too. These potatoes are all of those things.

Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes

Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes are really easy to make. Cook the potatoes until firm and mix in all the ingredients. Serve hot and in bulk! When feeding my family of four, I use this recipe and we will eat it for a few meals throughout the week. During holidays like Thanksgiving, we actually make about 20 pounds of potatoes. That sounds insane but like I said, we are potato people!

Tips & Tricks

Wash, peel and dice the potatoes and then place into a pot. THEN, fill the pot with cold water. Cooking potatoes in cold water and then bringing to a boil oppose to adding the potatoes to boiling water, make for a much more even cook on the potatoes.
