Mashed potatoes have been one of my favorite foods since I was a kid, and now that I’m the mom making the holiday meals, I’ve spent plenty of time perfecting my own mashed potato recipe.
The secret ingredient, and one method I use that makes these the BEST is in the recipe below!
Comfort Food Is Just What We Need
This year has been one for the record books, and we’ve all faced challenges: working from home, maybe not being able to work at all, virtually schooling our children, and missing our loved ones.
The holidays this year are going to require EXTRA comfort. All the coziness of the season, the fires, and cookies, and hot chocolate, and holiday meals, are exactly what the doctor ordered.
Being close with our family and friends has never been more important or meaningful.
Whether your jam is to host the big holiday dinners, or deliver cookies to your neighbors, Kraft Heinz® products provide those familiar tastes of holiday traditions that we remember from years past and rely on to get in the spirit of the season.
Hosting a Friendsgiving, Christmas dinner, or a cookie swap with friends? Kraft Heinz® products are my go-to for high-quality ingredients to make my favorite recipes.
Walmart Is One-Stop Holiday Shopping
And one of my favorite recipes is this one for Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes. I could quite possibly live on them.
I’ve always loved mashed potatoes, but once I learned how to make them with Philadelphia® Cream Cheese, I kicked my recipe up to a whole other level.
I got everything for this recipe at Walmart, which makes my life so easy. I can grab cute dishes, napkins, and holiday decor, then pop over to the grocery side of the store and get all of my ingredients.
This saves me time and money (and a little sanity, too!).

Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes Recipe
This recipe is going to be your new favorite for special holiday meals, or when you’re craving comfort food. Creamy mashed potatoes were never soooooo good!
Philadelphia® Cream Cheese makes all the difference in a rich, mouthwatering texture. Made with no artificial preservatives, dyes or flavors, Philadelphia® Cream Cheese is the standard for quality. The proof is in every fresh, creamy, delicious spoonful of mashed potatoes!
First, peel, cut, and boil the potatoes until they are tender.
Drain them in a colander in the sink.
Pour the potatoes back into the pot, and mash them over low heat to remove excess water. This little trick, along with using Philadelphia® Cream Cheese, is what makes these mashed potatoes the best!
The Philadelphia® Cream Cheese will incorporate faster and more evenly if you chop it up into 6-8 pieces as shown before mixing it into the potatoes.
This recipe uses just a handful of ingredients and is full of flavor. Get the complete directions below.
To serve, spoon mashed potatoes into a serving dish. Top with chopped chives.Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes
