Garlic Herb Whipped Potatoes

I love using soft cheese in a plethora of different flavors in my mashed potatoes to give them an update and a  twist in flavor.  In these garlic herb whipped potatoes I used garlic herb flavored spreadable cheese wedges to give a subtle change in taste and it also gives the potatoes a super creamy texture.  It’s enough to satisfy Mom and Dad’s taste but, it’s not too overwhelming for the kids.

Directions: (Scroll down for printable recipe)
Peel and cube the potatoes, taking care to cut them into similar size pieces so they’ll cook evenly.  In a medium stove top pot, cover the potatoes with cold salted water and bring to a boil. Cook over medium high heat until fork tender, about 15 minutes.  Drain the potatoes well then add the cheese wedges, sour cream, butter, salt and granulated garlic.

  • Cook’s Notes:
    Adding 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley to the potatoes makes the potatoes more visually interesting. It won’t change the flavor if you opt to leave it out.
  • You can use Crema in place of sour cream, if desired.
