My husband is a meat and potatoes kind of guy and we probably have mashed potatoes with our dinner at least once a week.

If you’re looking for a creamy, flavorful mashed potato recipe that is super simple to throw together, you should definitely give this one a try!

How To Make Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes

1. Wash and then cut the red potatoes into quarters
2. Bring the the potatoes to a boil in a large pot of water on the stove
3. Turn the heat down to a simmer and then simmer until they are tender, which will take about 10-20 minutes
4. Drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot
5. Place the pot on medium heat for about a minute to dry out the potatoes
6. Remove the pot of potatoes from the stove
7. Add the garlic, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese to the cooking pot

9. Add salt & pepper to your liking and then give the potatoes another good mix
10. Garnish with green onions or fresh rosemary, optional

Tips For Making Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes

• If you don’t like ricotta or Parmesan cheese for any recipe, simply substitute them with more cream cheese. For each cheese you remove from the recipe, add an additional 2 ounces of cream cheese to the mix.
• After you bring the pot to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer. By simmering the potatoes it will help keep them from being too mushy and falling apart.
