Delicious, heart-warming, holiday-worthy Cream Cheese Smashed Potatoes that your whole family will love. This is my go-to, family-favorite recipe for holiday potatoes, and it has been for years.

I love making smashed potatoes, and I always make this recipe instead of traditional mashed potatoes. First, they’re just delicious. And second, they are just so simple to make. No peeling the potatoes. No whipping or having to get the potatoes smooth. Chunky is good 🙂
