Steps:
- 1. To serve four, in a saucepan, measure according to box measurements the butter, water and salt.
- 2. Use the half and half to replace the milk, using about 1/4 cup less that it calls for. Pour into saucepan with butter, etc.
- 3. Add 1/3 package of the cream cheese and heat mixture to almost boiling. Mix some to blend all together.
- 4. Whip in the instant potatoe flakes well. You may need to thicken them up a bit with a few more potatoe flakes if they seem a little thin.
- 5. I have used what real potatoes I had on hand but if it wasn't enough for the meal I made these to extend my potatoes.
HOMEMADE "INSTANT" MASHED POTATOES
A QUICK, EASY, INEXPENSIVE, AND HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE TO INSTANT MASHED POTATOES This is based on Schwan's packaged "Creamy Mashed Potatoes". It is frozen "cubes" of mashed potatoes, and you can use as little or as much as you need right out of the freezer. The Schwan's version is very convenient, but can be expensive, and contains a lot of unnecessary chemicals, preservatives, and fillers. You can use any mashed potato recipe you want, but I recommend using a little extra liquid (cream, sour cream, etc.) because you don't want the potatoes to dry out when you reheat them after they have been frozen. Once again, (for the "Chef" who gave this two stars without bothering to leave any comments) YOU CAN USE ANY MASHED POTATO RECIPE YOU WANT. I posted this recipe for the freezer "technique". If you are busy working during the week and don't have the pleasure of being a stay at home mom or a restaurant chef, then you may enjoy being able to pull a batch of "fresh" mashed potatoes out of your freezer and heat them up in a matter of minutes when you are tired at the end of a long day.

Steps:
- Boil potatoes until tender. Drain water and return potatoes to pan. Add all ingredients and mash with a potato masher. (Do not over-mash, or the potatoes will become rubbery and starchy).
- Spray 4 to 6 ice cube trays with non-stick cooking spray. Spoon mashed potatoes into each cube mold, then pat down with finger.
- Cover each tray with a sheet of plastic wrap, using fingers to press the wrap firmly onto the surface of the potatoes. This will prevent the potatoes from drying out in the freezer. Add another layer of plastic wrap over the entire tray and wrap tightly.
- Freeze the trays overnight. When the potatoes are frozen through, pop them out of the molds and into a freezer zipper bag, and store them in the freezer until you are ready to cook.
- Microwave Reheating: Take out as many cubes as you need. Place in a microwave-safe bowl. Add about a tablespoon of water and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Heat on 50% power for 5-6 minutes. Stir. Heat again (if necessary) for 2 more minutes.
- Stovetop Reheating: Take out as many cubes as you need. Place in a boiler with 1/4 to 1/2 cup water. Heat on medium-low for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and smooth.

INSTANT POT MASHED POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES
This recipe gives you everything you want in a dish of mashed potatoes: supreme creaminess from both butter and sour cream, a deep potato flavor, a little Parmesan for a salty tang, and chives for color and freshness. That said, if you want to bring the fat content down, you can use less butter (as little as 2 tablespoons will still work). But don't skimp on the sour cream, which is necessary for both flavor and texture. This is one of 10 recipes from Melissa Clark's "Dinner in an Instant: 75 Modern Recipes for Your Pressure Cooker, Multicooker, and Instant Pot" (Clarkson Potter, 2017).

Steps:
- Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the instant pot. Place the metal trivet into the instant pot. Put the potatoes on top of the trivet and then seal the instant pot.
- Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Push the quick release button. One the pressure has full released remove the lid. Carefully remove the trivet from the instant pot. Add the butter and 3/4 cup of milk. Mash to desired consistency. If you like them super smooth than use a hand held mixer. If the potatoes are too thick simply add a little more milk.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired sprinkle with parsley or chives.
- NOTES For best results use a combination of Russet Potatoes and Yukon Gold and get the best of both worlds. You get lighter fluffier texture from the Russets and buttery creaminess from the Yukon Golds. I like the flavor that the chicken broth brings to the dish however if you are a vegetarian you can simply use water. Don't skimp on the butter. Use real sweet cream butter. If the potatoes are too thick simply add a little more milk or low sodium chicken broth. Add it very slowly though as you can always add more but you can't take it back. Beat with a handheld masher for a slightly chunky finish or with a electric mixer for a smooth and creamy texture. You can garnish with any fresh or dried herbs. Fresh chopped thyme and rosemary are always a great choice if you grow them or they are readily available. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze mashed potatoes in a sturdy airtight container for up to 1 month.
