When I was about 10-years-old, my mother started making special Whipped Potatoes around the holidays, they were a recipe from her sister Theresa, and since then, my siblings and I dubbed them “Thea Theresa’s Potatoes”. Though we are not exactly sure where she got the recipe, it was the late 1960’s, and she likely found it in the newspapers or maybe in a Family Circle magazine. However, I am sure she didn’t expect that this recipe would follow her through three generations of our family. Or that every Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner would include her rich, creamy Whipped Potato recipe!
Thea Theresa’s Whipped Holiday Potatoes are the perfect comfort food and family tradition. It gets the most excitement on the holiday table. The combination of the butter, cream cheese, and heavy cream is what puts this dish in a different category. These whipped potatoes truly speak for themselves but what really brings the flavor over the top is the Lawry’s Seasoning Salt (no msg) and fresh ground pepper. I love when you put these potatoes in the oven they have a crusty, seasoned top and the potatoes rise like a soufflé. It makes the dish so special!
In the memory of my dear Thea Theresa, I hope that this recipe brings your family as much joy as it does ours!
