SMASHED CREAM CHEESE POTATOES

My son and I saw this on a PBS cooking show (Test Kitchen) and thought that it looked good so we tried it and loved it. I would use this as a base recipe and then added whatever you want afterwards like a package of ranch or bacon. Hope you enjoy. Cooking time will vary.

Time 2h10m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 -8 whole potatoes
8 ounces cream cheese
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons fresh chives
2 tablespoons salt
1/2 cup water (reserved from boiling potatoes)

Steps:

  • Boil the whole potatoes in salt water.
  • Remove them from the water and allow to dry (it will only take a couple of minutes) Do not pour out all the water. Save about 1/2 cup.
  • While they are drying, mix the rest of the ingredients and the 1/2 cup of the potato water. I use a hand mixer for this and that really helps.
  • Then, with a spatula or a wooden spoon, simply smash the potatoes. Just enough to break open to spud. Do not mash. Your goal is to have potato chunks.
  • Fold the cream cheese mixture in with the potatoes.
  • Season to taste.
