Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes

Made this recipe several times and they are very good! You can make these potatoes in advance and warm them up in crockpot or oven. I have to add a good amount of milk to get the consistency I like. I also needed to add more salt. Made these again 11/2016 and doubled the batch. I boiled the potatoes in my large cast iron red pot. I used the potato masher to mash the potatoes right in the pot. I melted the butter and poured it over the potatoes and had the cream cheese softened which I then cut into pieces and put on the steaming potatoes and put the lid on to let it soften more. After a few minutes, I stirred in the salt, chives (& chopped parsley from my herb garden) and added some milk. I didn't use electric beaters. This saved time and cleanup and the potatoes tasted great.
