Creamy Mashed Potatoes

2 lbs of gold potatoes
S&P
1/4 of 8oz pkg of cream cheese
1/2 c sour cream
1/2 c milk

Peel and rinse the potatoes. Cover with COLD water and salt. Bring to a boil and then turn down to low for 25 minutes. Remove and drain the water. Add cream cheese, sour cream and milk. Using a hand mixer mix together until creamy.

You can add cheese at the same time.

**This is my basic mashed potatoes recipe for everything!**

Chicken Sausage Gravy

2 links of fresh made chicken sausage (I like the Buffalo)
1 tbsp butter or olive oil
1 tbsp flour
2-3 cups of milk
S&P

Saute the sausage with the butter or oil. When it is browned - remove 1/2 the sausage. Add the flour and brown for about 2 minutes or until starting to brown. Add in the milk and turn down to low. Add S&P and the rest of the sausage until thick.

** I added a couple of dashes of Frank's Red Hot at the end **
