This serving suggestion is fun any day of the year. Let the mashed potatoes cool long enough so they'll mound up in the cones just like ice cream.
Prep: 5 min. Cook: 8 min. Other: 5 min.
Yield: Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 2/3  cups  frozen mashed potatoes
  • 1 1/3  cups  milk
  • 1/2  (8-ounce) container soft cream cheese
  • 3  green onions, sliced
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  pepper
  • 4  flat-bottomed ice cream cones (optional)

Preparation

1. Prepare potatoes with milk according to package directions, stirring with a wire whisk. Stir in cream cheese, green onions, salt, and pepper. Let stand 5 minutes or until cool enough to mound. To serve, spoon mashed potatoes into ice cream cones, if you'd like.
