I'm absolutely speachless! I combed mashed potato recipes for hours this morning and finally decided on this one. I coudn't picture how this would taste with the cream cheese but so many poeple rated it high I decided to go ahead and try it but was a little skeptical. These are the very best mashed potatoes I've ever tasted! I didn't change a thing and made the recipe exact. I will NEVER EVER make this dish any other way. Many thanks Kim for this 10 star recipe keeper!

    Perfection! Made the day ahead to make Easter dinner easier and was so pleased w/ the results - and all the compliments! Only changes I made were slight... 1) I peeled and cubed the potatoes before boiling, 2) then I threw in 2 garlic cloves as I boiled the potatoes, and 3) I added chopped green onions w/ the rest of the ingredients. Next time I'll try w/ reduced fat cream cheese and sour cream, but stuck w/ full fat for the holiday dinner. Delish - thank you!!

    A wonderful recipe. To keep help warm up prepared potatoes, place in crockpot and set on low to keep warm or place on high to heat up quickly. A nice way to keep potatoes warm.
