Creamy, Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

I found "The Best Mashed Potatoes" on Ask Chef's and decided to give these a try to go with some meatballs and gravy we were having. I modified the recipe to suit our tastes and they are creamy, cheesy, and delicious!

I like ours on the creamy side, so I used a full 1/2 cup milk in this recipe, but if you prefer yours to be firmer and a little more "dry", I'd start with 1/4 cup and go from there. The cream cheese gives these a very sticky consistency and a nice creaminess!
