Chive and Onion Mashed Potatoes

Today we are talking potatoes for Easter. Â I usually enjoy a good old creamy cheesy potato casserole as part of my Easter meal. Â However, I decided to try something different this year. Â I decided to go for some simple chive and onion mashed potatoes. Â This recipe is so easy to do. Â We are talking 4 ingredients people. Â The secret is a little tub of chive and onion cream cheese. Â That is where these potatoes get their flavor and extra creaminess.
They were delicious! Â I love to have them with a little pat of butter on each serving. Â Smooth and creamy potatoes with sweet creamy butter dripping down is pure potato heaven!
Today’s part of the virtual Easter dinner is over at Food For My Family. Â Be sure to check out her recipe. Â It includes asparagus which is an essential Spring vegetable in my book, making it a perfect Easter side.
If these chive and onion mashed potatoes don’t strike your fancy, here are some other yummy potato dishes perfect to serve for Easter along side that ham:
- Shredded Potatoes Au Gratin
- My Aunt’s Potato Casserole
