Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes

5 pounds baking potatoes

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

1 cup sour cream

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

*(Okay to used reduced fat versions)

***

Directions:

Scrub, peel, rinse the potatoes, cut into 2 inch pieces. Place them in a large stockpot and cover with water. Boil until fork tender, about 18 to 20 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and add the remaining ingredients. Mash and mix well. To thoroughly mix ingredients you may want to use a hand or stand mixer. Taste and adjust the salt if necessary.

Transfer the potatoes to a shallow baking dish and cover with foil. Potatoes can be kept warm at this point or cooled and then refrigerated or frozen. Makes 10 to 12 servings.

Preheat oven to 350 and bake 30 to 45 minutes or until hot.
