My Rendition Of Pioneer Woman'S Mashed Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb red potatoes (Skin on or off)
4 -6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1 dash half-and-half
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons white pepper

Preparation

Place chopped potatoes in a pot of boiling water. Leave the skins on or off according to your preference. I like texture so I left the skins on.
Let potatoes boil until soft or about 15 mintues.
Drain and place back in pot. Turn heat on low and let the potatoes steam for a minute or two. You want them to release a little steam so they do not get watered down or grainy.
4 Mash potatoes a bit, then add butter. Once butter is particularly incorporated add 4 oz of cream cheese.
Next add sour cream and incorporate. If the mixture needs to be thinned add some half and half to the mixture.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
