I remember serving these for the first time with my favorite roast chicken recipe, and these mashed potatoes stole the show. I used garlic-infused olive oil in these potatoes, which gave them much more depth than plain old butter. The addition of cream cheese was the real moneymaker though. It makes them absurdly creamy with just the slightest tangy sweetness. They are also remarkably fluffy, which is the result of baking them for a few minutes before serving. As one friend put it so beautifully, “These potatoes taste like angel’s wings.” As far as side dishes go, these mashed potatoes with cream cheese are pretty unbeatable, and you should serve them with EVERYTHING.
