Ingredients

  • 4 cups Peeled And Cubed Potatoes
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth Or Stock
  • 1/4 cups Chopped Onions
  • 1/4 cups Chopped Celery
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese (1 Block), Cut Into Chunks
  • 1/4 cups Instant Mashed Potatoes, Any Flavor

Method

  • In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine potatoes, broth/stock, onions, celery, salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil and cook (with the lid slightly off so steam can escape) over medium heat until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Smash the potatoes with a potato masher until all large pieces are broken up. Reduce heat to low and add the cream cheese (works best if the cream cheese is at room temperature-I learned this the hard way). Heat, stirring frequently, until the cheese melts.
  • Add the instant potatoes, cover, and remove from the heat. Allow to sit for 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir and serve, garnished with extra cheddar cheese, scallions, bacon, etc.
