A Mountain Of Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

10 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
8 ounces sour cream
8 ounces cream cheese
6 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt
paprika (to garnish) (optional)

Preparation

Place potatoes in large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Drain potatoes, place in large bowl, and mash with sour cream, cream cheese, onions, salt, and 4 tablespoons of butter, stirring until butter and cream cheese have melted.
Spread potatoes into greased 13 x 9 baking dish.
Melt remaining butter and drizzle over potatoes.
Sprinkle with paprika, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use (you can bake these right away, of course).
Refrigerated potatoes need to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
Cover with tin foil and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, then remove foil and bake for another 20 minutes.
