Mashed potatoes are my go to side dish for most dishes I make, mostly because theyโ€™re so easy to make, and I always have potatoes in the house. Normally you would make these with a lot of butter, but hereโ€™s a skinnier version of mashed potatoes with light cream cheese, skim milk and only 2 tablespoons of butter. ย Even with only 2 tablespoons of butter, you donโ€™t lose any flavor here because of the cream cheese which makes these potatoes cream and just delicious.
