Remember whipping up potatoes at the last minute before holiday meals? Never again! These are the most delicious mashed spuds we've ever tasted - but best of all, you can make them the day before the feast. Ingredients:
12 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/3 cup sour cream |
5 tablespoons butter, softened |
1-1/4 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup minced chives, optional |
2 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add potatoes; beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the butter, salt, paprika, pepper and chives if desired. Spoon into a greased 2-1/2-qt. microwave-safe dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 10 minutes, stirring once. Stir in milk. Microwave 5 minutes longer or until heated through. Yield: 12 servings.
