Ingredients

5: lb white potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 14 cups)

3: oz (from 8-oz package) reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel), softened

1/4: cup crumbled blue cheese

1: cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese (4 oz)

1/4: cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1: container (8 oz) reduced-fat sour cream

1: teaspoon garlic salt

1/4: teaspoon paprika

1: teaspoon chopped fresh chives, if desired

Directions

1 In 6-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, place potatoes. Add enough water to cover potatoes. Heat to boiling over high heat; reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered 15 to 18 minutes or until tender; drain. Mash potatoes in saucepan with potato masher or electric mixer on low speed.
2 Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat cream cheese, blue cheese, Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Beat in sour cream and garlic salt.
3 Heat oven to 350ºF. Stir cheese mixture into mashed potatoes until well blended. If potatoes are too stiff, stir in milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency. Spoon into ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish.
4 Bake uncovered 35 to 40 minutes or until hot and top is lightly browned. Sprinkle with paprika and chives.

My family and I are working on making our meals more healthy and I just made this side for dinner. It was great! You'd never know it was "healthified"... my 5 year old scarfed down two servings. It would be super easy to mix in extra veggies (roasted butternut squash, carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes...).
