I’ve made these potatoes twice now. They are so simple, but they taste like you’ve really put in a lot of effort. I love a good cheat!
This is more method than recipe, but I’ll add it in Ziplist below. I’ve made this with about 1 lb. of potatoes and half a container of Philly Cooking Creme. I thought that was a perfect amount of creaminess. I’ve also made it with 3 lbs. potatoes and a whole container of Cooking Creme. I thought that was a little dry, but Jim liked it better that way.
So, do what suits you and your family. If you want to up the creaminess, but don’t want to use more cream cheese just add a splash of milk.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Sorry for the blurriness of that photo. It makes me feel like I need to have my eyes checked.

This sounds great. Can you freeze it?
Kim, I’m not sure how it would freeze. The potatoes may become watery when you thaw it. If you give it a try let me know how it turns out.
These look fantastic, Tiffany!
I love garlicy mashed potatoes!
What an easy, convenient way to make mashed potatoes! Can’t wait to try it!
These sound delicious, but they no longer make this cooking creme. 🙁
Try using regular cream cheese and a clove or two of crushed garlic.
