Ranchy Mashed Potatoes
I love these tangy mashed potatoes. The flavor is bold enough to stand up to all the other great Holiday flavors. Give them a try this year and see if they don’t quickly become a Thanksgiving favorite.
To make it festive, cut up some chives, green onion, dill or parsley and sprinkle it over the top of your mashed potatoes.
- 8 baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix, or 3 tbsp of this homemade buttermilk ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup butter
- Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into chunks.

Add a generous pinch of salt and the potatoes. Cook them until they are tender. Depending on the size of your potato chunks this should take about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them with a potato masher or for smoother mashed potatoes use a hand mixer.
- Using the hand mixer, cream the cream cheese and ranch dressing mix together. Stir this mixture as well as the butter and sour cream into your mashed potatoes and serve.
