When it comes to mashed potatoes recipes, this is one of my favorites because they can be made ahead, refrigerated and then popped into the oven just prior to dinnertime. When my grandchildren come for dinner, I have to double this recipe. They love it! &mdash;Vivian Bailey, Cedar Falls, Iowa

Deluxe Mashed Potatoes

potatoes (about 2-1/2 pounds)

cream cheese, softened

sour cream

chives

onion salt

pepper

butter

Paprika, optional

I LOVE this recipe.  It always gets great comments. I use 4 oz. cream cheese and 2/3 c. sour cream.  Then I fold in by hand some shredded cheddar cheese.  Outstanding! PS  Don't use a mixer if you are adding the cheddar cheese-it turns your potatoes orange!

Great taste, however I used 1/2 the cream cheese and added 1 tablespoon of butter to the potatoes when mashing. Then I topped the casserole dish with 1/2 cup of buttered bread crumbs seasoned or plain is fine and parmesan cheese. Was great taste. I also baked at uncovered for 25 min. just till the bread crumbs were browned.

I have been making these for almost 20 years. I use several cloves of roasted garlic, mix everything together put in a well buttered casserole cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days. We eat these for Christmas dinner, my family calls them Christmas potatoes. I take them out an hour before dinner to come to room temperature. I sprinkle some grated sharp cheddar and a little Parmesan during the last 15 minutes of baking. The leftovers make awesome potato pancakes!

Delicious!!!  This recipe elevates mashed potatoes from ho hum to wow!

Made these ahead just now to bake for later with my slow cooker short ribs. Tried a taste..they are excellent!! cant wait to bake them tonite....

Excellent flavor and very creamy, loved it.

These are creamy and rich. The first sour cream and cream cheese add a tang and creaminess. I could easily make a meal with just a big bowl of these.

I've been using a recipe similar to this (mine includes 4 cloves minced garlic cooked w/potatoes, 8 oz. cream cheese & 1 C sour cream, 6 Tbs, butter) so  highly recommend you try the recipe!  My grandchildren request it at every family meal!

these mashed potatoes where amazing!! great comfort food deb P VFE

<p>Made as-is in advance.  Great flavor and easy to assemble.</p>

I make this recipe a day ahead and reheat at 350 for 45 min. covered or uncovered if you it slightly browned on top.  You should have heard the teenage boys raving about the potatoes (of all things) on Thanksgiving. "Best mashed potatoes we've ever eaten"

These mashed potatoes were a big hit! So creamy and flavorful.

I make something very similar to this; however, I use five large potatoes, 8 ounces of cream cheese and a cup of sour cream. My seasonings are about the same, although I use onion powder, half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter of a teaspoon of black pepper. Basically the same recipe. It's a great make-ahead!  I've been making this for 30 years.

I have been making these potatoes for 20 years. I call them Snowy Potatoes, they're always everyone's favorite. If they seem a little dry, you can add a little half and half, and if you use  white pepper it keeps them nice and white.

I chose to try this recipe for thanksgiving because I could make it the night before. I made exactly as directed. The potatoes were good, but a little dry for my family's taste. We prefer a creamier potatoe, but they were not bad and easy to put together.

I really like these but felt a need to make changes because I felt they lacked flavor

These potatoes never disappoint being made the way I have done for years.   I use 5 # Yukon Gold.   One Pint of Sour Cream;  8 oz cream cheese (Not whipped) 1/4 cup unsalted butter  and proceed pretty much as recommended.    I've never done the chives but that would be OK, too!  I do not understand the commentary below from drichards1neorrcomj.   There is no garlic in the original recipe so that is confusing ??  I also have made, frozen and cooked right from the freezer for about 70 - 75 minutes.  This is a great recipe to take with for someone else dinner.  Bake at home and put in an insulated tote for your host!

J have made this for 25+ years and everyone loves them.  It's wonderful to make ahead, especially on a holiday  (less clean up).

Made as-is and ahead of time.  Turned out great.
