Yield: 12 servings

This is a terrific recipe for those who get nervous about preparing a lot of recipes on Thanksgiving Day. If you have a crockpot, you can make them ahead of time and just warm them in a buttered crockpot until they're ready to serve. So easy!

Ingredients: 5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, boiled & mashed 6 ounces cream cheese 8 ounces sour cream 1/2 cup milk or half & half 2 teaspoons onion salt ground black pepper to taste

Directions: 1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl; mix well using an electric mixer. Place in a large, buttered casserole dish. 2. If serving right away, cover and bake in a preheated oven at 325°F. for 50 minutes.

Tips: *It's ok to lighten this recipe up a little by using low fat cream cheese and light sour cream. *You can make this recipe several days ahead and store in the fridge. If baking cold, let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes first. *If you're lacking oven space, start warming this in a well-buttered crockpot earlier in the day.
