I made this for Thanksgiving and it delivered--good texture. I don't think I ever used Russet potatoes to mash before. It might have needed just a tad more milk. Next time I think I'll test it with one of those "flavored" cream cheeses. It held up with left overs also--just kept adding a little more milk to soften it up.
