Description

The mother of an old beau of mine made these excellent potatoes for every holiday dinner. I could never get enough of them. Now I’m asked to make them for many of my family gatherings. They are a little rich and SOOO yummy! Substituting light cream cheese and margarine makes it a little easier on the waist line.

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds Potatoes, Peeled, Cut And Boiled Like For Mashed Potatoes
  • 1 cup Half-and-half
  • 1 package Cream Cheese (8 Oz.)
  • 1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • Pepper To Taste
  • 1 stick Butter Or Oleo
  • Paprika (set Aside)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drain potatoes.

With an electric mixer, beat all ingredients (except butter and paprika) together. (I do this right in the huge pot the potatoes were boiled in.) Put the mixture in a long pan. Put butter, in chunks, on top. Sprinkle with paprika.

Bake uncovered for 1 hour or even longer—the longer the better.

Optional: Sprinkle a handful of crushed potato chips over the paprika before cooking. This gives it an extra crunch.

I just got Ree’s “The Pioneer Woman Cooks” book, and discovered this recipe is remarkably similar to her “PW’s Creamy Mashed Potatoes”. I’m glad she’s guilty of the half and half, cream cheese & butter combo, too! ;)

A potato is a perfect food, but a potato with cream cheese, butter and half and half….I don’t even know what to say!

Well, my mouth is watering…what I love about this is that you could make your potatoes earlier in the day and then bake them before serving. Makes a big family dinner a little easier! Thanks for posting!
