I love to make this recipe for holidays because I can put it together the night before and not have to deal with that last minute rush before dinner is served.  The recipe is from Necessities and Temptations.

Night Before Mashed Potatoes

8-10 potatoes -- peeled

8 ounces cream cheese -- softened

1 cup sour cream

salt and pepper -- to taste

butter

seasoned salt

1. Boil and drain potatoes.

2. Whip hot potatoes adding cream cheese and sour cream. Continue beating until fluffy and smooth. Add salt and pepper.

3. Place in a buttered 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Dot generously with butter and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Cover with foil and refrigerate. Potatoes can be frozen at this stage and thawed before baking. Bake, covered with foil, 15 minutes at 325. Continue baking, uncovered, 20 minutes.
