In fairness I must note that this recipe is from a friend, who got it from her mom. This is simple, and makes very flavorful delicious mashed potatoes!
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened/room temp
1/2 cup light cream
4 baking potatoes
1/4 cup chives (fresh or from a jar, both taste wonderful!)
milk to taste
Peel and cut potatoes into 1" by 1/4" wedges. Put in a big ol' pot and just cover with water. Boil for 20 minutes or until mushy. Drain. In a big dish, beat until they reach desired consistency (hey, you might like lumps). Add 1/2 the package of cream cheese, continue to hit with the handmixer until they are thoroughly mixed. Then add the rest of the cream cheese and the light cream. Beat until desired consistency, then add chives and mix in. If the potatoes are too dense, add milk to taste/desired consistency.
This is the recipe as I received it, I actually usually make it just with skim milk and cream cheese and leave out the light cream. They are delicious and rarely need much salt or pepper once done.
Enjoy!
