Creamy Ranch Mashed Potatoes (Make Ahead Option)

1. 1

   Cook the potatoes in boiling water until fork-tender; drain and place in a large bowl.

2. 2

   To hot potatoes add in cubed butter, cream cheese, sour cream and 1/2 package dry dressing mix; at low speed using an electric mixer beat until until the potatoes are semi chunky (low speed only to start as the potatoes are hot).

3. 3

   Continue beating at HIGH speed until the potatoes are smooth and very fluffy.

4. 4

   At this point do a taste-test if you desire a more stronger ranch flavor then add in more dry dressing mix until desired flavor is achieved, you may also add in milk or whipping cream for a more creamy taste (start with a small amount and add in more).

5. 5

   TO MAKE AHEAD; spread the potato mixture into a greased 13 x 9-inch pan and refrigerate up to 1 day, remove from fridge about 1 hour before baking, then set oven to 350u00b0F and bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until hot.
