Perfect Mashed Potatoes Every Time
"I got this recipe from Ohio magazine and an article about Amish cooking. It says cream cheese is the secret ingredient, and if you aren't having a dinner party then you can divide the recipe in half easily. This has gone over well at my large family dinners, so far nobody has left it on their plate."

I scaled these down, using about four potatoes and guessed on the other amounts (starting with 1 ounce cream cheese, 1 TBS butter, 1/4 cup milk and non fat sour cream). This recipe combines all the good things in mashed potatoes, including my favorite, evaporated milk. These had a wonderful slight dairy flavor and creaminess and I enjoyed every bite. I did add a pinch of garlic powder. I made them to go with Recipe #159666 which went perfect together! Thanks Valeria, for posting. Roxygirl

I am a Spanish teacher and my favorite thing to cook is a slow baked Lima bean casserole with herbs de provence. I also love cooking dairy-free with cashew cream.
