Loaded Mashed Potatoes

Loaded Mashed Potatoes

 

Every year my Mom made with cream cheese mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving, and I’ve tailored the recipe to my family and have carried on the tradition.  I also make them in a slow cooker, which is convenient because I make the potatoes a day ahead, freeing up oven space.
