The best no-gravy potatoes ever!

Md-Lg Russet Potatoes (1 per person)
I used two, cuz there were two of us.
Boil in salted water till soft, and yes salt the water you need a little bit of salt flavor. I don't normally salt my water for potatoes, because there's usually plenty in gravy.
While they are boiling set out 2oz of cream cheese, and 2T of butter (per two potatoes)

Drain cooked potatoes, return to pan
add butter and begin to mash
after the butter is melted in add cream cheese
and mash a little longer, and 2 T of Milk
and whip with spoon, once they are fluffy and smooth, add 1/4 C of green onions and pepper to taste.

In this batch I also added 1/4 C of Cheddar Cheese, but I have also made it without.
