Lynn's Cream Cheese And Chives Mashed Potatoes

 

1 1/3 pounds potatoes (about 4 medium), cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup nonfat cream cheese
1/4 to 1/3 cup 1percent milk
1/3 cup snipped fresh chives, or 2 tablespoons dried snipped chives
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste


1. In medium saucepan, cook potatoes in 2 inches boiling water, covered, about 12 minutes until tender; drain thoroughly, then shake potatoes in pan over low heat 1 to 2 minutes to dry thoroughly.

2. Mash potatoes with electric mixer or potato masher.

3. Mix in cheese until melted.

4. Mix in remaining ingredients. (Do not overbeat.)

5. Stir gently over low heat just until heated through.

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.
