kraft kitchens tips

Substitute

For added colour and texture, prepare with unpeeled red-skinned new potatoes.

Serving Suggestion

Add contrast to the potatoes by serving them with a crisp mixed green salad or vegetable and a serving of cooked lean fish, meat or poultry.

Food Facts

For best results, use Yukon Gold, russet or red potatoes since they work best for mashing.

Awesome recipe! I've made this a few times now and my daughter asks me to make extra so she can have leftovers the next day.

Easy recipe to make. If you don't want to make at the last minute do it earlier in the day and put them in a crock pot put on low and they are ready when you are. Great when have a large group. Use this recipe when we go camping.

Great recipe. Used only ½ of Philadelphia garlic and cream cheese and add 1tbsp of Kraft real mayonnaise. Everybody loved it. If there are garlic lovers in your family -sauté some green onions with chopped garlic (use any count amount of butter - according to your taste) and add this mixture to above mentioned mashed potatoes. You can’t get wrong with this recipe.

Have made garlic mashed potatoes for years. Our family's fav is with small red skins, leaving the skins on. Also love putting some horseraddish in them. Yumm!!!

My family love this recipe, especially my daughter!!!!! I used garlic powder instead of the fresh garlic, sprinkled with parsley on top for decoration.

This recipe was fantastic. I followed others' advice and used only half of the cream cheese mixture. My family loved it - they didn't even realize it used cream cheese.
