Ingredients
  

  • 2 bags (1.5 lbs each) The Little Potato Company Dynamic Duo Creamer potatoes
  • 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
  • cup sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • For garnish: fresh chopped parsley (if desired)

Instructions
 

  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with water and add 2 tablespoons sea salt.
  • Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Poke them with a fork to see if they are tender—if the fork slides right through, then they are ready.
  • Drain the potatoes very well, and put them back in the hot saucepan. Allow to sit for 5 minutes to allow them to steam dry.
  • Add the cream cheese, sour cream, butter, and 2 teaspoons salt.
  • Use a potato masher or a handheld mixer to mash the potatoes until mostly smooth. There will be some lumps, plus the skin of the potatoes—that is ok!
  • Transfer the mashed potatoes to a greased 8x8 inch oven-proof serving dish. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To reheat the mashed potatoes after refrigeration, cover the dish with foil. Bake at 350°F for 30–35 minutes, or until hot throughout.
  • Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve.

Notes

Take care not to over mix the potatoes, especially if you use a handheld mixer. Over mixing the potatoes can make them gummy.
The Little Potato Company Dynamic Duo Creamer potatoes can be found at your local grocery store and Walmart. 
You can use regular or light cream cheese. Same with the sour cream—full fat or light is just fine.
