Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes
We don't usually use a recipe for making mashed potatoes, but I know in the past I've heard of "make ahead" mashed potatoes using cream cheese, and since we had potatoes languishing in the pantry and an opened package of cream cheese, I decided to give this recipe a try. I didn't follow the actual measurements, but that's not really required for this dish. Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes Peel and dice potatoes. Boil in some water until tender; drain. Mash with butter, milk, sour cream, cream cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Use proportions that make sense! If desired, add bacon, cheese, chives, etc. Serve immediately or transfer to a buttered casserole dish. Cover and refrigerate for up to two days. When ready to serve, remove from fridge while preheating oven to 350 degrees. Cover and bake for 30 minutes; uncover and bake another 10 minutes until warmed through.
