I used fat free cream cheese and only used 4 ounces. It really needed a good seasoning, that said it gave it a layered taste and interest.

I love this recipe and have been making it for a couple of years, but with a little twist. I substitue the regular cream cheese with onion and chive cream cheese. You can also mix a little sour cream in for texture. It just adds to the flavor and gives it a little extra kick. Thanks Rachel for a wonderful base to allow my creativity to run wild!

Family? What family?..... I almost ate the whole pot of these all by myself..lol. I didnt have red or yukons on hand so I used regular peeled russets. A great change from regular buttered mashed potatoes. These spuds are a keeper!!!! :-

Dissapointing. This recipe was very bland. Potatoes made with butter & milk tastes better in my opinion. These potatoes didn't taste bad but just needs to be doctored up. The flavor reminded me of a plain baked potato so I think if you add lots of salt, pepper, butter, and bacon bits it would be better.

I used the Yukon gold potatos and chives for this one. I made this for Thanksgiving and it has a good flavor. Once I had it on the table I added some butter and let it just slightly melt over it, served, and had the hubby and kids wanting seconds. Next time I'm going to try it with some garlic.

This is a good base recipe for mashed potatoes. The cream cheese and heavy cream make them nice and smooth. But they are pretty bland, you will need to further season them to make them really tasty.

This is one of our GO TO dishes, we never eat plain potatoes again. I change this up a lot, according to what I'm serving (like I add jalepenos and garlic if I'm doing a southwestern dish. I've probably reviewed this one before but I found a new use for the cream cheese/milk mixture and wanted to pass it on. Make a little extra and put it a container for later. It's great in scrambled eggs. For our family I use 8 eggs and a couple heaping tablespoons of the cream cheese mixtures. Whisk together and scramble the eggs...this is divine and goes great with the Brown Sugar Bacon recipe by Katie Lee Joel on this site.

I have made this dish a couple times now and each time it has been great! Everybody that has tried these has raved about how good they are.

I used cream cheese with chives and I would probably use more than the recipe called for. I also used more half and half because I like my potatoes creamier.

Since some people commented on it being bland, I used veggie cream cheese and sprinkled shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions on top. It was very good and not bland at all. Reading the reviews always helps me...thanks all!!
