Is there a way to remove the nutrition info when printing? I print the delicious recipes and find I waste 1 page of paper every time because of the nutrition info which I read before deciding to use the recipe.

I searched everywhere this year to find this recipe.....all I kept finding were Martha Stewart creations.....just wanted this simple one. Thanks!
This can be served just by completely combining, thoroughly cooking stovetop, then serving as a pedestal base for an oil/fat rich meat entre without the baking process. Also, do the same and make great potato croquettes! I also added some rock salt and sauteed onions in lieu of the onion salt.
These were great - and with no butter too! I've been searching for a go-to mashed potato recipe and I think I just found it :) Also, I found it doesn't need to be baked, it tastes great without the last step.
My review is the same as Parsley's. Whether the cook chooses to use full fat sour cream and cream cheese or low fat, these mashed potatoes turn out rich and creamy. I also have a love of Yukon potatoes. Drizzled a bit of fresh chives from the herb garden on each serving. Thanks for posting. This recipe will be added to my Spud Powered cookbook, Dee. cg
I've made mashed potatoes similar to this in the past (with the cream cheese and sour cream) and they always come out creamy and smooth with just a hint of richness. Even if you use reduced-fat dairy products (which I did), you still get great results. These potatoes are sure to please everyone. Thanx for a winning mashed potato recipe!

Also added sauteed mushrooms and onions.
Added scallions and bacon bits
Really good but I ran out of time and made with instant. Nana's Best, which are horrible instant potatoes, were really good with this. 3 pouches with 8 cups of boiling water, then proceeded with the rest of the recipe. Used garlic salt instead of onion salt. Whipped in the mixer.

<p>My mother was known for her cooking and baking and I am so happy that I was able to pick up her great skills.</p> <p>I enjoyed many years as a stay at home Mom, whipping up all sorts of large meals and baking of all kinds. Time does not permit many hours in the kitchen anymore, but I still like to entertain when possible and I am always searching for the latest greatest new recipe to add to my tried and true collection.</p>

How does Gordon Ramsay make his mashed potatoes?

Can I substitute sour cream for milk in mashed potatoes?

Yes, you can substitute sour cream for all milk. But you won't get that "tang" associated with sour cream. Also, the milk quantity is really just a starting point. You can add more milk for thinner potatoes or less milk for thicker mashed potatoes.

Are mashed potatoes better with milk or cream?

Heavy cream will make for the creamiest mashed potatoes, but whole milk or half and half will also work. Don't use anything with less fat than whole milk, otherwise, your potatoes won't be as flavorful or creamy.
