Re: Can I boil my potatoes today, to mash on Sunday?

10 good sized potatoes,1 stick butter reserving 2 tbsp. to put on top, 8 oz. cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream . cook and mash potatoes with rest of ingred. Top with butter and a little paprika for color. Put in buttered 9x13 pan. Cover with foil and frig for 1-2 days. bake covered at 350 degrees for 1 hour. They will puff up just a little. I use smart balance and fat free cream cheese and sour cream and no one knows. They are delicious and requested for every holiday. I forgot the 1 tsp of onion salt.

I would mashed your spuds while they are hot and then bake them on Sunday. I tried many times to just boil them and then mash them later and the texture isn't the same when they are cold. Even reheating them didn't work.

I have done the exact same recipe for years at Holidays, etc, have even frozen them, I put them in the crock pot & heat, keep warm, they are always wonderful, everyone just thinks they're mashed potatoe's. I used 5# potatoe's.
