Mashed Potatoes Ahead Of Time

1. 1

   Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces that are generally the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for 30 to 35 minutes. When theyare cooked through, the fork should easily slide into the potatoes with no resistance, and the potatoes should almost, but not totally, fall apart.

2. 2

   Drain the potatoes in a large colander. When the potatoes have finished draining, place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, allowing all the steam to escape, before adding in all the other ingredients.

3. 3

   Turn off the stove and add 1 A1/2 sticks of butter, an 8-ounce package of cream cheese and about A1/2 cup of half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Next, add about A1/2 teaspoon of Lawryas Seasoning Salt and A1/2 a teaspoon of black pepper.

4. 4

   Stir well and place in a medium-sized baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place them in a 350-degree oven and heat until butter is melted and potatoes are warmed through.
