Whipped potatoes with cheeses! Delicious!
I boiled 5 huge potatoes, Whipped them up with the cream cheese and sour cream. Then I mixed in the garlic powder and a bunch of green onions,and the cheddar cheese. Then baked - I don't know how long - I wanted the top crisp so the last 5 minutes I turned the oven up to 375. They were SO DELICIOUS !!! If you try these don't forget to add the green onions (or Chives) because it made a BIG difference.(Also 1 Pkg of cream cheese is plenty) These are Super Yummy !!!
Read MorePretty good but FAR too rich. I would cut the cream cheese at least in half.

I loved the fancy potato recipe. I did change it up a bit. Used 1 8 oz. cream cheese instead of 2. Used 8 oz. Hidden Valley Ranch dressing instead of the sour cream. Used 2 cups of Kraft Montery Jack and Cheddar Cheese. It was already shredded which made it nice. I also used a little more than a pinch of garlic. Definately a keeper. Thanks for the great recipe Janet
This is nothing out of the ordinary but is a good, basic, cheap mashed potato recipe to follow that I will make again. The only change I would make is to mix the cheddar cheese in before putting it in the oven instead of layering it on top. The cheese sticks together when you layer it on top and you end up eating big globs of cheese instead of having the cheese mix in with the casserole.
I thought these were fabulous and my 4 kids ALL raved about them. I only used one 8 oz. package of (light) cream cheese and I omitted the garlic salt. I used fat free sour cream also. Take it from someone who can spot fat free and reduced calorie a mile away.....You will never know the difference! Terrific recipe. Thanks!
Upon reading other reviews for this recipe, I also used only 1 package of cream cheese, which seems to work out so well. I also added a little milk to help with creaminess. I also used a different type of cheese blend on the top, and this worked great as well! All in all I say this recipe was fun, easy, and delicious to make. It turned out wonderful! The taste is exceptional for mashed potato lovers! A great recipe, thank you!
Wonderful potato dish. I did not whip the potatoes, but cut them into small cubes, just personal preference. Added some garlic powder, minced onion, parsley and some cajun seasoning to spice it up. Was like a twice-baked potato casserole.
This was a great change from mashed potatoes. I did make some minor changes though. Instead of cheese I use a bread crumb mixture for the topping. Also, I used half the amount of cream cheese.
These are simply wonderful. They are easy to do and taste like you did a great deal of work. I added bacon pieces on the top for texture and color and reduced the cream cheese by half. I will definitely make these again.
4.5 stars from me! Made for easter...used a small bag of small yukons (maybe 15 or so- all the store had). Used only one bar of cream cream (light) and about 2/3 cup of light sour cream. Then mixed through a large handful of finely shredded cheese. Came out great especially when warm - got thick after setting on the plate for a while and getting cold. I just used a masher not a mixer, and I cut them up before boiling. Thanks!
An interesting take on mashed potatoes! I liked the fact that there was absolutely no butter in the recipe, which always made me think twice about reaching for a second helping. I used light cream cheese and light sour cream and it still tasted just as rich (I still thought about that second helping!) My husband doubled the recipe but only used 2 1/2 pkgs of the cream cheese, instead of 4. He really enjoyed this! I only gave it 4 stars because I think it's best enjoyed "day of" rather than leftovers. We'd make this again.
I had about 9 potatoes left in my bag, so just went ahead & used them all in the recipe. I also sauteed one small onion in butter & added that, along with substituting garlic powder (1/2 tsp) & also added about 1/2 tsp salt & 1/4 tsp black pepper. I did only use one pkg of cream cheese, & mixed my shredded cheese into the mixture, instead of putting on top. Very good.
I served these potatoes with a meatloaf and my husband said, "Don't lose this recipe." Although, you must allow time for the potatoes to cool, it was well worth it. Five Stars *****
I took the advice of other readers and cut the cream cheese in half as well as mix the cheddar in the mixture instead of entirely on top. I also used garlic powder, salt, and fresh black pepper to add more flavor. Everyone liked it and it was still nice and creamy the next day. I will make this again in lieu of traditional mash.
I had a small tub of cream cheese with onions and chives that I wanted to use up so i used that along with some regular cream cheese. I added garlic and onions. I used some Tilamook sharp cheddar that is white - it made them taste great! (I had never bought that before - it was all Costco had for cheddar cheese and it was highly superior to my regular cheddar cheese.) Good recipe that you can tailor to your own tastes. Not low cal though - even though it has no butter - cream cheese is equal with butter in fat and calories.
My husband couldn't stop talking about these. I cut back on some of the cream cheese just to fit what I had but it didn't affect the taste. They were easy to make and delicious. You can't go wrong with these potatoes.
So So good I read the reviews and the only things I changed were I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt and I mixed half the chedder cheese into the potatos then put the rest on top. I also added 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese mixed in and about 1/3 cup green onions. And sprinkled the top with black pepper before baking. So great will make again and again. Oh yeah one cream cheese is plenty.
These potatoes are so sinfully scrumptious I almost feel guilty making them. Especially since I end up eating at least three helpings of them! EXCELLENT!
Easy way to add flare to mashed potatoes. Even the kids will enjoy it. I used no fat cream cheese and it was great!
Have made these many times and the family just loves them. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Never before had I made mashed potatoes without any butter. I was shocked to find that these didnt need it! Perfect, simple, easy, delicious, and anyone can make it... 5 star recipe. Thanks!
I thought these were good, but definitely not something I would make all of the time. They are so rich and way too fattening for my blood!! I did add bacon bits, used real minced garlic as opposed to the garlic salt and then threw in some salt and pepper to taste. I also used HALF of the cream cheese called for, and fat free cream cheese AND sour cream - just to take away some of the guilt! I chose to mash these instead of whip and if making again, I would stir the cheese into the potato mixture instead of sprinkling it on top, and just bake it for less time. I found the cheese "crust" distracting as it pulled away from the spuds with every bite.
This was DELISH! I love how its sooo easy and quick to do. Next time I'll add a bit of milk to make it creamier. Plus this recipe will turn out great with any cheese you have in your fridge. I even used sliced american cheese and everyone lived it.
Great recipe. . . I used it as a base and added pancetta, fresh parsley and many more spices. If you have potatoes and don't want the usual this is a great recipe. I suggest adding your favorite things to it in addition to the exact recipe.
Delicious! Since I had fairly small potatoes left I ended up using seven instead of five, but I left everything else the same. Tasted great, easy to prepare, and leftovers are wonderful too. I will have to make these again sometime because my whole family loved these! Thank you for sharing this recipe, LnJJ.
Love it! It was easy to make. I changed the recipe a little: I used one package of cream cheese instead of two; I added butter, salt, and pepper because I was afraid it would turn out bland. In the end, it turned out great!
This was absolutely delicious and simple to make. I will definitely be making this again!
This was ok but it was nothing special. Make sure that the potato is fully cooked before you stop boiling it.
Everyone liked these, but it was too much cream cheese and sour cream although I did cut the cream cheese in half, I'll probably cut more next time and cut some of the sour cream.
I halved entire recipe, used as much cream cheese as recipe stated and love it just the way it's written. It is rich, but I just ate less and had the bonus of having some of these leftover to have with leftover roast beef the next day! These are now a staple for me.
This was awesome..... and guess what? They taste even better the next day. My boyfriend LOVED it sooooooo much that he asked me for these 3 days in a row. I just reheated in the microwave. GREAT SIDE!!!!!!!
This was really good. I only used 1 (8oz) cream cheese and I added some chopped green onions on top of the cheese and it was really good:) Thanks for sharing:)
I cheated due to time contraints and used the frozen steam & mash, 1 plain & 1 garlic flavored. I also used 1 8 oz package cream cheese & milk to desired consistency & topped with cheese. Made mid morning & kept them cool by placing in cooler with a few frozen ice chillers. This dish was a BIG hit, my 13 yr old granddaughter said "these are the best potatoes you have EVER made". she was even making sandwiches with rolls and the potatoes. I had leftovers for next day dinner party, added a little water to dish and reheated in 200 degree oven, they never knew they were leftovers!!
a wonderful twist on potatoes, alittle rich, but very good. thanks for the recipe
I do something similar- add cream cheese and sour creme to taste as i go. I then freeze in 9 x 13 pan- i do this days ahead of a holiday - take out of freezer in the am. then pop in oven for about 30mins. - taste great and one less dish to fix on a big cooking day
These went well with the Restaurant Style Buffalo Chicken Wings from this site. So Creamy and rich tasting although I used 3 TBSP lite cream cheese and 1/2 of a small tub of lite sour cream because the calories and fat in this recipe were alot. I used about 4 medium sized potatoes. Added lite cheddar cheese and chopped spring onions on top...baked up delicious!!! A keeper...thanks!
I've made this recipe several times. I use only 1 pkg cream cheese and they come out great every time. My husband loves these and I've passed the recipe on to my daughter in law. Great special meal potoates. Thanks.
When Janet Jones described these as rich, she was right! They were delicious, but you can't eat very much at a time, which I guess is good. Next time I may use less cream cheese.
These were so yummy and creamy, i had to use what i had on hand and that was the neufchatel cheese and light sour cream and it still came out rich. Will add garlic next time.This is a keeper for sure!
Absolutely the best potato recipe I have tried!! Very easy; extremely tasty; great to"warm over" with a little melted butter!!!SUPER --creamy and smooth!
woohoo! these were great! i didn't realize until well into the recipe that i only had one package of cream cheese, but my potato-addict boyfriend and i loved these, he says they were the best i've ever made! i did add some milk and butter before whipping cause i like them extra creamy!! thanks~!
Love it! It was easy to make. I changed the recipe a little: I used one package of cream cheese instead of two; I added butter, salt, and pepper because I was afraid it would turn out bland. In the end, it turned out great!
these were super duper...maybe next time ill try adding a little garlic for extra flavor, there will DEFINITELY be a next time ;)
Everyone LOVED these! Except picky husband who doesn't like mashed potatoes anyway... I cut the cream cheese in half because 2 packages seemed like it would be way too rich- 1 package was PERFECT for us! I used the sour cream and garlic salt but skipped the cheddar cheese on top- I think I could have skipped the baking part since I didn't put the cheese on top and it would have still been just as yummy and creamy. Will definitely make these again!
I took the advice of several others and cut the cream cheese in half - these were wonderful!
Excellent potato recipe, though not something I'd serve very often because of the richness. I think 1 package of cream cheese is plenty. Next time I think I might try to do a "twice baked" potato and use this for the filling.
Wonderful easy! I didn't have garlic salt so I added about 2 tsp of dry buttermilk ranch dressing mix. FANTASTIC! I made these up early for company then just popped them in the oven in time for the rest of the meal. I would DEFINITELY fix these again!
Easy to prepare. Used sharp cheddar cheese for the top. Thought about adding roasted garlic to mashed potato mixture for more flavor. Hubby also suggested sauteed mushrooms. Made for my family's traditional meatless Monday meal. Served with steamed broccoli, green salad and crescent rolls
Cut the cream cheese in half and added some spices and garlic. That kicked it up a bit. Nice twist on potatoes!!
This is a nice way to change up potatoes, I changed it up a bit, I added some Gorgonzola cheese to it and I added some onion powder and green onions and some fresh garlic..then baked it. My hubbie loved it. I have made it twice...
I really enjoyed these potatoes. I used 3 garlic cloves instead of 1. Next time I wouldn't use as much cheese. Yes, I will make these again, soon
The only reason these are a two star is because our house mate gave them 5 stars. My husband and I HATED them. They were so rich and just tasted disgusting. My 1 year old son seemed to like them. Won't be making these again any time soon.
Amazing! so delicious! my hubby absolutely loves this dish. One package of cream cheese is plenty!!
Definitely only 8 oz cream cheese. Also, “5 large” potatoes is way too vague. What is a large potato? I found a similar recipe. 4 lbs of potatoes and only 8ox cream cheese with the cup of sour cream. I also mixed cheese along with sautéed onions and fresh garlic. Finally sprinkled cheese on on top.
My children and I really enjoyed this recipe. My husband however didnt care for it. I followed others advice and added one 8 oz package of cream cheese. I think that 2 would have made it to rich. Thanks for the post will definetly cook again.
I have made this twice. Both times everyone has loved it!! I used just 1 pack of cream cheese. Thanks for a great recipe.
i have made this twice. First time like the recipe except cut back on cream cheese was good. Second time I add package of dry ranch mix and 1/2 stick of butter to potato mix. Then on top of cheese i add green onions and bacon (chop).
I made this for a party, and everyone loved them! I used the potatoes as a base for making a kind of vegetarian Shepard's pie. I sauteed a variety of vegetables, and mixed them in with the potatoes. I also put one cup of the shredded cheddar in the potatoes and another cup on top. This turned out excellent; EVERYONE was asking me for the recipe! Next time, though, I will make it with a crust and it should be really incredible.
Was very good after adding 2 bunch of green onions and omitting 1 8oz brick of cream cheese. Will make again. May add some cooked bacon.
Deeelicious! So simple yet so good. I loved that you used real whole potatoes, instead of frozen like all of the other potato casseroles. A bag of potatoes is far less expensive than frozen and healthier. The only alterations I did was instead or garlic salt, I added a packet of dry onion soup mix. I also did not totally mash it because I knew my husband would like it chunky with the skins still on. My husband was in heaven.
Very good potatoe side dish recipe! I followed the directions with these minor additions... I used red skins, keeping skin on and boiled them in garlic infused water. (add minced garlic to water) I too followed others advise and cut cream cheese in half and I used shredded cheese mixed with panko bread crumbs for topping to give some crunch. Thank You for this recipe!
Wow! So good. I halved the recipe and baked in an 8x8. I ended up baking it for about a half hour until the cheese was starting to brown.
Good recipe. 1 package of cream cheese is plenty. 1 cup of sour cream is too much. I used half a cup the second time around and it turned out a lot better. I mixed in the cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of chives.
My husband and I both loved this. I made it just as the receipe said. It was so good we are having these for Thanksgiving dinner. Will still make gravy for the Turkey and dressing though.
Great as-is recipe! Holy calories though - so watch out! I made this with pierogies for some friends and they loved it. It's been requested a few times, but I limit how often I make it because of the fat content.
I only had 1 block of cream cheese so hoped it would taste just as good and it was!! A hit by two picky teen boys. Will definitely make this again!! Oh I did add 1 tablespoon of milk to help it blend in blender.
Family and I loved this!!! Kids asked for seconds and it was even a big hit with my toddler. Only put in 3/4 of a 250gr tub of cream cheese and it was plenty. Can’t wait to make again. Strongly recommend
OMG these are delish but holy calories definatly make the sparingly. But Oh so good.
This was ok, but really it's just cheesy potatoes. My husband liked it, but thought it wasn't anything special. I baked it without the cheese on top and then put half in a crock pot and put 1/2 the cheese in, then the rest of the potatoes and the rest of the cheese. I was taking it to a pot luck and it kept good in the crock pot like that. I think everyone has at one time threw this type of thing together, kind of basic.
I've tried this recipie before. Recommended for all ages! Whoever this recipie belongs to, 5 stars to them!
I make this recipe using seasoned frozen hash browns instead. Saves alot of time.
This was good, my dad has a recipe very much the same as this and his is better. His uses mayo instead of sour cream and tops it with bacon, will make this again but with some changes to it
I felt 2 pkgs of cream cheese was too much for the quantity of potatoes.. maybe mine were smaller spuds. I mixed in the cheddar, used fat free sour cream, and reduced fat cream cheese, and lots more garlic.. also dalloped butter on top w/the rest of the cheddar - YUM!
It's in the oven now.. I read all the reviews and tweaked the recipe to account for my ingredients on hand and the taste tests tells me I can't wait to pull it out of the oven.
This dish was bizarre. It tasted pretty good, but it seemed like it was missing something. If I make it again, I'll try adding more garlic salt or something to make it a little less bland. I suggest broiling it for a minute or so at the end to make the top a little crispy.
