Philly Mashed Potatoes is a popular side dish in the United States, inspired by the flavors of Philadelphia cheesesteak. This recipe combines creamy mashed potatoes with softened cream cheese, chopped onion, and beaten eggs.

These mashed potatoes are a delicious accompaniment to grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
