Smashed Potatoes

I made these smashed potatoes for my "Friends Thanksgiving" and they were a hit! I have also made this recipe with Swedish meatballs, to which it paired well.

2 1/2 lbs. red potatoes, peeled and quartered

4 oz. reduced fat cream cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

onion powder

salt and pepper

Place potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender.

Drain the potatoes and return to pan (off the heat). Add remaining ingredients and mix well with a potato masher or heavy spoon... AND SERVE!

* You can also transfer the finished potatoes to a greased 8" square pan and bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
