Creamy Chive Mashed Potatoes

I'm getting really exctied to have company this Thanksgiving. I've been trying a few new things and I really like this, mostly because I love mashed potatoes and chives. It's a nice twist.

5 medium potatoes, peeled
1 1/2 salt, divided
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 Tbs. butter, softened
2 Tbs. chives
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4-1/2 cup buttermilk or sour milk

Boil potatoes with 1 teaspoon salt. Drain.

Mash potatoes until smooth. Add cream cheese, butter, chives, pepper and remaining salt; gradually beat in buttermilk. Yield 4-5 servings.

I only used half the cream cheese it asked for and still made it really creamy. I never have buttermilk or sour milk so I measure out milk and put a little lemon juice in it, let it sit for 5 minutes and it will sour.

When you say you used half the cream cheese, do you mean you used 2 oz.? Or did it call for 8 oz and you only used 4?
