Grandma Otte's Mashed Potatoes


Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa Otte's house was wonderful. My grandma made a big Thanksgiving meal for us that was delicious - including this recipe for mashed potatoes that you can make ahead-of-time and freeze for up to two weeks!


Ingredients
5 lbs. potatoes, peeled (approximately 9 large potatoes)
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp. onion salt
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
2 tbsp. butter


Directions
1. Cook the potatoes in boiling water. Drain and place into large mixing bowl.
2. Mash potatoes until smooth.
3. Add the cream cheese, sour cream, onion salt, salt and pepper. Beat in stand- or hand-mixer until light and fluffy.
4. Place in a greased casserole dish and serve.


5. If you make the potatoes ahead-of-time and freeze, simply dot the mashed potatoes with butter and reheat in a 350 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes or until heated through.
