I like mashed potatoes that are simple and gloriously creamy, but it’s fun to kick them up with homemade Cajun seasoning. Get yourself a potato masher if you don’t have one — it’s life-changing.

Ingredients
For the Cajun Seasoning:
For the Potatoes:
Directions
- Make the Cajun seasoning: Combine the garlic powder, paprika, cayenne and 2 tablespoons each salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Make the potatoes: Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, letting the steam escape.
- Turn off the heat before adding the butter, cream cheese, heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of the Cajun seasoning (reserve the rest for another use). Mash, mash, mash! Next, add the seasoned salt and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; mash.
- Place the lid on the pan to keep the potatoes warm until you are ready to serve.
