Ingredients

  • 5 5 pounds Russet red or yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 (8-ounce) 1 (8-ounce) package light or regular cream cheese
  • 3-4 3-4 green onions chopped
  • 1 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 1 cup whipping cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9X9-inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with water by one inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt and boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes or until they are tender.
  3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them a few times and add the rest of the ingredients. Mash and mix well to desired consistency. Scoop the potatoes into the prepared baking pan. Dot with 1-2 tablespoons butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are lightly browned on top and heated through.

Notes

  • Milk/Cream: I suppose if you really want to cut the calories even further (big sigh!), you could substitute milk for the cream, knowing that a certain level of decadent creaminess will be sadly lacking (but may help your thighs feel better about themselves).
