This is a great recipe to use at Thanksgiving or Christmas because it can be made ahead and heated through when needed. I usually make a half recipe because we are a family of 5. I got this recipe from Company's Coming. Ingredients:
5 lbs potatoes, peeled and quartered |
8 ounces cream cheese, softened (reduced fat is fine) |
1 cup sour cream (low fat is fine) |
1/4 cup butter (i prefer butter) or 1/4 cup margarine (i prefer butter) |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste) |
2 tablespoons butter |
paprika (garnish) |
Directions:
1. Cook potatoes as usual in salted water until tender. Drain. Push through potato ricer.
2. Add cream cheese in pieces. Add next 5 ingredients. Beat until smooth and fluffy. Scrape into a 2 qt casserole.
3. Place dabs of butter here and there over the top of the potatoes. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and heat in 350 F oven until heated through (about 30-45 minutes, depending whether you've made it ahead and have taken it from the fridge).
