Wash the potatoes. Bake them in their jackets until done in a 400 to 450°F oven. Slit them open and scrape out the insides into a bowl. Mash them with milk and cream. Season them with salt and pepper.
Sauté an onion and the garlic in butter. When they are wilted, turn the heat to very low and cover the pan. Cook them slowly until they are soft, making sure not to burn them. Beat the potatoes again with the onion stuff and the cream cheese, thinning them with milk if necessary. They should be kind of soft. Adjust the seasoning.
Pile the mixture into an ovenproof casserole or into the potato shells. Bake in a 400°F oven until the tops are browned. You may sprinkle some paprika over to hasten the browning.
