This is one of those recipes that use a long list of ingredients in a vain attempt to create a complex flavor. Cream cheese + Sour Cream + Whipping Cream = Redundant Calories. Cut the creams down to one…I recommend sour cream to keep the potatoes creamy and not too dense. Cream cheese works well too…just choose one or the other. If you need to adjust the consistency, try a little milk. The sugar is pointless – there’s not enough to make even a slight flavor difference in so many potatoes. The chicken bouillon does make a nice flavor enhancer for potatoes, but if you use it, cut the soy sauce.
The ingredients sound a bit strange but it works! I left out the cream cheese only because I realized I was out at the last minute but it was still really good. It tasted a little like those french fried onions you put on green bean casserole. I will definitely make again (with cream cheese the next time).
"OH MY GOD!!!!!" were the 1st 3 words out of about 5 peoples mouths when they tasted these today. What a hit. I doubled the recipe and there were almost no leftovers:) Thanks babybeeks.
I didn't have all the ingredients for ex:whipping cream parm cheese parsley but nonetheless this was amazing!! I loved them! this is definitely a no fail recipe! You wont have to follow it to the T. It's an awesome blueprint to add and remove to your own tastes. Excellent 5 stars I say!
If you take to heart any review please let this be the one. I have been in the kitchen for a long time and feel I truly know what people love to eat. You MUST try this potato recipe. I substituted 1/2 TB kosher salt for the soy sauce because I was out but other than that followed to a T using red potatoes. It's creamy flavorful rich but not overwhelming complex but totally familiar. It's the perfect mashed potato dish. Nevermind the other reviews that claim too much is going on. This will be on my table for every holiday and many nights in between. Excellent!
I'm only giving this one 4 stars because there was just too much going on flavor-wise. They were yummy that's for sure - don't know about "addictive" though. I'll make them again but I'll probably leave out a few ingredients like the soy sauce and the chicken bouillon granules. They both added a lot of salt and I thought they were kind of unnecessary. Other than that very tasty! Oh and good news you can make them ahead of time and reheat them just fine if you know you're not going to have time to make them the night that you need them.
The best mashed potatoes ever! I made them for my parents and in-laws and everyone loved them. I used half and half instead of whipping cream because the store was out. They were so good we had to lick the beaters so none would go to waste!
Dad-gum these are good..my husband and I scraped the bottom of the bowl!!! I had to use assagio in it because I had run out of Parmesan! Fabulous anyway! Hats off to the chef!!!
I made these tonight for dinner and they were delicious! The name "addictive" is perfect!
