Number Of Ingredients 5

1 box brand name instant potatoes
1 pkg cream cheese
1 pt fat free half and half
butter called for on the box of potatoes
salt to taste

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.

Overall, these mashed potatoes were pretty good. They were easy to make and they had a nice flavor. However, I think they could have been creamier.

These mashed potatoes were a huge disappointment. They were dry and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and my mashed potatoes turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The potatoes were a little too runny for my liking. I think I would cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

These mashed potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time.
