There are two things you should do differently to make the most flavorful, rich and creamy mashed potatoes: 1) cook the potatoes in Swanson® Chicken Broth and 2) mash with some softened cream cheese. Cooking the potatoes in broth means that the potatoes absorb the savory seasoned flavor. Adding softened cream cheese with the butter and cream while the potato mixture is still hot keeps the mashed potatoes smooth and adds a tangy richness to the final dish. If you never thought to cook your potatoes in broth before, now's the time to try these Extra Creamy Mashed Potatoes - since they're done in 30 minutes you can make them anytime!
Step 1
Heat the broth and potatoes in a 3-quart saucepan over high heat to a boil, then cover and cook (still on high) for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes, reserving the broth.
Step 3
Mash the potatoes with the cream cheese, cream and butter. If needed, add some of the reserved broth until the potatoes reach desired consistency. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
