Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes

10 Medium Potatoes
6 oz. Cream cheese, room temp
1 Cup dairy sour cream
1 tsp Onion Salt
1 tsp garlic salt
¼ tsp. Ground black pepper
2 Tbs. Butter

Peel and quarter potatoes. You will have 7-8 cups peeled. Put them into a large saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain well. Mash until smooth with potato masher or electric mixer. Mix cream cheese with sour cream, onion salt, garlic salt and pepper. Beat into mashed potatoes until smooth and fluffy. Taste for seasoning. You may wish to add more salt and pepper. Place in crockpot’s removable crock or in bake ware. Dot with butter. Cool and cover. These can be made up to 6 days in advance.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45minutes uncovered until heated through or place crock in heating unit 3 hours before serving. Tastes best if refrigerated for 12-24 hours before baking.
These will be so fluffy and light. Your guests are sure to think you just made them.
