Creamy Parmesan Mashed Potatoes

we love to make our mashed potatoes with cream cheese!  You can add in any cheese you like, it doesn't have to be Parmesan!!  We love sharp white around here...

2lbs red potatoes (about 8) cut into 1/2" chunks
1 c chicken broth
4 oz neufchatel cheese, cubed
1/2 c sour cream
3 Tbs grated cheese (they call for Parmesan, but whatever floats your boat)

Cover potatoes in chicken broth, cover & bring to boil over high heat.  Simmer on med heat for 15 min.  stirring after 8 min.  Uncover, stir potatoes, simmer, uncovered 5-6 min. or until potatoes are tender & most of the broth has been absorbed.
Add neufchatel cheese, reduce heat to low.
Mash potatoes slightly until the cheese is melted.  Add the sour cream & cheese of choice, mash until potatoes are smooth & heated through.

This says it will serve 10, but only 1/2 cup each serving.  Around here, that doesn't cut it :)  I also cook my potatoes till tender, then transfer into my big mixer, using it to mash the potatoes, adding in the cream cheese, then sour cream & cheese, mixing till it is all combined.  Cover immediately with foil tightly, and it will stay hot till you are ready to eat.
