Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes

Serves 6

6 to 8 potatoes, peeled and quartered

1/4 c. butter, softened

8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened

salt and pepper to taste

Boil potatoes until tender; drain. Combine potatoes, butter and cream cheese in a large bowl; let stand for 10 minutes, or until cream cheese melts. Mash until smooth. Refrigerate until serving time; reheat in a microwave.

Cooking potatoes ahead for later use? Keep them light in color by covering them with cold water and adding a little vinegar.
