For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting a head of garlic and adding a few cloves to the potatoes while mashing. Feel free to substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for the milk for an even richer consistency. Garnish with fresh chives or a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color and added flavor.

StepWhile the potatoes are still hot and steaming, add the softened cream cheese, milk, butter, and a pinch of salt to the pot. (2 minutes)
