The Thanksgiving table just isn’t complete without a steaming side of mashed potatoes. This makeover transformed high-fat Patrician Potatoes into a light side that still tastes decadent.

Place potatoes in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
Drain potatoes and place in a large bowl; mash with butter. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream and salt until light and fluffy; add to potatoes. Stir in chives.

These are by and far my favorite potatoes ever! I made them with fat free sour cream rather than reduced fat and they were still perfect! Delicious recipe that everyone is requesting and SO easy to make ahead!!

These potatoes are excellent. I used potatoes from my garden. I didn't have chives which would have made them better. The only other changes were 1/3 less fat cream cheese and fat free sour cream instead. I have had mashed potatoes with mayonnaise & they are great but more fat.

These potaoes are excellent! For just the two of us, I cut the recipe in half and bake in a 8x8 baking dish.
