Ingredients

• 8 baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ cup butter

Instructions

1. Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into chunks.
2. Bring some water to a boil in a large pot. 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.
3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them with a potato masher or for smoother mashed potatoes use a hand mixer.
4. 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.
