Who doesn’t love comforting, delicious mashed potatoes? The problem is that too many recipes have you drown them in butter and cream to make them rich. This recipe replaces the butter with low-fat cream cheese for richness and chicken broth replaces the cream. End result are delicious healthy mashed potatoes that you can eat anytime.
The family will love it! Believe me, Will and Brian are crazy about them and every time my Mom makes mashed, they ask her to put the cream cheese in it! Mom, here’s the recipe 😉
