If you did not know I am Irish and with being Irish I have always been fond of the potato 🙂 I love how inexpensive it is and yummy all at the same time. This recipe has been a staple in my kitchen for years. I try not to load it with fat and calories rather flavor 😉 — oh and a bunch of cheese….
What you Need:
- 1 sticks butter
- 3.5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes ( I grab them when they go on sale)
- One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup of Parmesan Cheese
What to Do:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter your 8×8 Baking Dish 🙂
Cut the potatoes into 1/4ths – I leave the skin on you can peel them if you like.
Boil water in a stockpot and give your potatoes a bath!
 Leave them for about 20 minutes – test the potato by sticking a knife in it – IF the potato is tender then you know they are done 🙂
Drain potatoes – place them back in a “dry” pot on the stove. And start mashing over low heat. You want to make sure you allow the steam from the potatoes to escape 😉
Â
Now add the other ingredients.
Add the seasoning, cream cheese, butter, milk and start mashing them together
 I then go in with a hand mixer – I love smooth mash potatoes but this step is optional
Place mixture into the buttered pan and sprinkle Parmesan Cheese on top
 Now bake in the oven till golden brown 🙂 This takes about 25 – 30 minutes
Enjoy!
