Over Christmas break my mom gave me a church cookbook (college girls absolutely love church cookbooks….ehemm….if anyone is generously looking to give us some:)). Anywho! My roommates and I tried a mashed potato recipe that we just HAD to share!

Divine Mashed Potatoes:

5 potatoes, boiled

1/2 pkg. softened cream cheese (4 oz.)

1/2 cup half & half    (we used milk and it was still yummy!)

1/8 tsp. pepper

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 tsp. onion salt

1 tsp. seasoned salt

1 tsp. salt

Add cream cheese, half & half, pepper and butter to potatoes. Mash by hand. Put in mixer and add rest of the ingredients. Finish whipping in mixer. If desired: put in casserole dish and add paprika and shredded cheese. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

This recipe came from Dolores Carroll of the China Spring United Methodist Church! I certainly can’t take credit for it!

So….go support a potato farmer and try this recipe! You’ll love it!
