Ingredients
  • 6-7 medium potatoes washed, peeled, cut into cubes, and cooked until tender.
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 ounce package of cream cheese
  • 1/2-1 cup of sour cream
  • Seasoned salt (Lawry's)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions

  1. Gather all of your ingredients. Wash and peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Preheat oven to (350°F) = (176°C).

  2. Boil the potato cubes until tender as tested with a fork. Drain.

  3. Add the butter, cream cheese, sour cream, and salt and pepper. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth.

    *Please note: Consider the size of your potatoes when adding the cream cheese and sour cream; you may need more or less. This recipe can be doubled or tripled for bigger crowds!

  4. Grease a casserole dish with cooking spray. Scoop the potato mixture into the dish.

  5. Dab the potatoes with more butter and some seasoned salt. Bake covered in a preheated oven (350°F) = (176°C) degrees for 45-60 minutes.

Instructions - Freezing Mashed Potatoes

  1. If you would like to freeze the mashed potatoes for another day, cover the unbaked mashed potatoes with foil and place them in your freezer.

  2. When ready to serve the frozen mashed potatoes remove them from your freezer 2-3 days before and let them thaw in your refrigerator.

  3. Bake covered in a preheated oven (350°F) = (176°C) degrees for 45-60 minutes.
