Baked Mashed Potatoes
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

1 cube butter, cut into chunks
Turn oven to 450 degrees. Butter a 2 quart casserole dish.

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 or 3 Tablespoons grated onion
Salt and pepper to taste
After blending all the ingredients, transfer the potato mixture to the buttered casserole and place in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
