Smashed Cream Cheese Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 -8 whole potatoes
    8 ounces cream cheese
    4 tablespoons butter
    4 tablespoons fresh chives
    2 tablespoons salt
    1/2 cup water (reserved from boiling potatoes)
Preparation
    Boil the whole potatoes in salt water.
    Remove them from the water and allow to dry (it will only take a couple of minutes) Do not pour out all the water. Save about 1/2 cup.
    While they are drying, mix the rest of the ingredients and the 1/2 cup of the potato water. I use a hand mixer for this and that really helps.
    Then, with a spatula or a wooden spoon, simply smash the potatoes. Just enough to break open to spud. Do not mash. Your goal is to have potato chunks.
    Fold the cream cheese mixture in with the potatoes.
    Season to taste.
