Cream Cheese Potatoes

Ever think your mashed potatoes are rather bland ... this will fix them :D
2 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
Salt
1/2 cup heavy cream (milk will work)
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 large sweet onion, finely chopped and sauteed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, optional

Cover potatoes with water and season with salt. Cover pan to bring potatoes to a quick boil. Boil potatoes until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain potatoes and return them to the hot pot to dry. Set aside. Sautee onions. Heat heavy cream, cream cheese over medium low heat until cream cheese melts into heavy cream and mixture begins to bubble, add in sauteed onions. Pour cream cheese mixture into the potatoes and mash to desired consistency. Add a little extra milk for softer potatoes. Season with salt, to your taste, and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped chives.
