Smashed Potatoes and Cream Cheese
Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray

Ingredients
2 1/2 pounds small red potatoes or baby Yukon gold
potatoes
1/2 cup half-and-half or whole milk
8 ounces plain cream cheese or veggie cream cheese, cut into pieces
10 chives or 2 scallions, chopped or snipped with kitchen scissors
Salt and pepper

Instructions
Boil potatoes until tender, 15 minutes. While the
water boils and when the potatoes are cooking, you can be working on the meatloaf
recipe.

When the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the hot pot to let
them dry out a bit. Mash potatoes with half-and-half or milk using a potato
masher. Add in the cream cheese and smash until the cheese melts into the
potatoes. Then add chives and scallions and season with salt and pepper, to your
taste.
