For an extra smooth texture, consider using a potato ricer instead of a masher. Warming the half-and-half prevents the potatoes from cooling down too quickly and helps maintain a smooth consistency. Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or chives, to customize the flavor profile. Adjust the amount of half-and-half to achieve your desired consistency. Some prefer a thicker mash, while others prefer it lighter and creamier.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPlace the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water, ensuring the water level is at least 1 inch above the potatoes. Add the salt and bring to a boil. (2 minutes)
02
StepReduce the heat to medium and cook, partially covered, until the potatoes are very tender and easily pierced with a fork. (12-15 minutes)
03
StepDrain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pan to steam dry for a minute or two, removing any excess moisture. (2 minutes)
04
StepUsing a potato masher or a handheld mixer on low speed, break up the potatoes. Gradually add 0.25 cup Country Crock® Spread and beat until fully incorporated, creating a smooth base. (3 minutes)
05
StepIntroduce the softened cream cheese and sour cream gradually, beating well after each addition to ensure a consistent and creamy texture. (3 minutes)
06
StepSlowly stir in the warmed half-and-half, 2 tablespoons at a time, until the potatoes reach a fluffy and light consistency. Be mindful not to overmix; you may not need all the half-and-half. (3 minutes)
07
StepGently fold in the chopped fresh thyme, then season to taste with additional salt and pepper as needed. (1 minute)
08
StepFor a final touch of richness, top with the remaining tablespoon of Country Crock® Spread before serving. (1 minute)
