Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes

I love these potatoes because they can be made the day before Thanksgiving. I have made changes from the original, looking for a plainer mashed potato casserole. But, I've included a list of what can be added as well.

Yield: 8 servings

1. Boil potatoes until tender.
2. Beat softened cream cheese and sour cream in a mixing bowl.
3. Add hot potatoes and beat until smooth, adding small amounts of milk as needed. (I prefer to use a ricer for the potatoes instead.)
4. Add butter, salt and pepper and beat until well-mixed.
5. Pour into either a casserole dish or crockpot.
6. Dot with additional butter. 7. Bake for 25 minutes in 350 degree oven or cook on low in crockpot for 2–3 hours. If cooked in crockpot, add a few additional drops of butter and stir just before serving.
NOTE: I make mine in a crockpot with a removeable crock the day before. I refrigerate the crock overnight and put it back in the crockpot several hours before serving.
