Glorious Mashed Potatoes
(from Reader's Digest's Quick Thrifty Cooking)

3 large baking potatoes (about 1 1/2 lb.)
1/4 cup milk
2 tbsp. butter or margarine
1/4 cup sour cream
3 oz. flavored cream cheese(chive and onion or your favorite)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. fresh or dried chives, chopped


Boil potatoes. Mash with milk to moisten. Mix in the butter, sour cream and cream cheese until well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the chives.

Depending on the type and age of potatoes you use, you may have to bake in a warm oven to "set" the potatoes, (250-300 degrees)

Cover with aluminum foil and watch carefully
