SOUTHERN STYLE MASHED POTATOES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes, and cut into 1-inch pieces. Bring cold water, potatoes, and 1 tsp. salt to a boil in a medium-size Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook potatoes for 16 to 20 minutes or until fork-tender and drain.
• Bring potatoes back to Dutch oven. Cook in Dutch oven until water evaporates and potatoes look dry. Mound potatoes on 1 side; add butter, half-and-half, cream cheese, ground pepper, and remaining 1 tsp. salt to opposite side of Dutch oven. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until butter is melted and mixture boils. 
• After removing from heat, beat at medium speed with a hand-held electric mixer 30 seconds to 1 minute or to desired degree of smoothness. Do not overbeat. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Boil potatoes until tender (not mushy), mash potatoes the same as you would for regular mashed potatoes. A little lumpy is okay! I like the potatoes the same consistency that I do my regular mashed potatoes.
• In a separate pot, boil eggs at the same time as you are boiling potatoes. For approximately the same length of time! Cool, peel and set aside!
• Add, butter (little milk if desired) add & blend all other ingredients except boiled eggs. Dice eggs and fold into mashed potato mix. Salt and Pepper to desired taste! Enjoy!
