Ultra Creamy Mashed Potatoes

The secret to making mashed potatoes extra-flavorful is cooking them in Swanson® chicken broth. They're mashed until smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of butter and cream to make a homestyle potato side everyone will enjoy. These creamy mashed potatoes are an essential holiday side dish, but they're great any day- we love them as a side with steak or chicken.
