Trisha's Chicken Fried Filet Mignon & Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes

This is one of my favorite dishes my mom makes! Not only is is fantastic its great for your thighs! I am just kidding but it is well worth the splurge of calories. Speaking of calories that reminds me of a funny story! I have been cooking decadent meals since I was in elementary school, my next door neighbor growing up was my best friend Ava. After school Ava would come over and I would offer to make her a snack before we jumped on the trampoline. Her job if she wanted a snack was she had to peel the potatoes and I would do the rest. Potatoes?? you say, as a snack?! Yes we would make homemade mashed potatoes with cream cheese and a rack of baby back ribs everyday after school. Then would jump on the trampoline with roller blades and dish soap then go home and eat dinner as usual.That was way back then, I wish my metabolism was like that...darn it!
